The Club World Cup is fast approaching and the details of when Chelsea will fly out to the United States have been revealed.

As the United States readies for the FIFA Club World Cup, concern over such things as travel, fan safety and even economic uncertainty threaten to diminish enthusiasm for the tournament.

According to The Athletic, FIFA has resorted to slashing prices because ticket sales have been so lackluster. Last week, it was reported that the opening match had fewer than 20,000 tickets sold in the 65,000-seat stadium.

Djordje Petrovic is among a group of Chelsea players who will not travel to the United States for the Club World Cup this month.

Chelsea have omitted goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic from their FIFA Club World Cup squad despite failing to get French star Mike Maignan from AC Milan.

The striker would taste more silverware at Chelsea, too, winning the FA Cup in 2018 before finally tasting European glory. He'd score 11 goals in the club's run to the 2019 Europa League Final - a record for a Frenchman in European competition - and even net in the finale against his old team, Arsenal.
