Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Noni Madueke will play in the Club World Cup semi-final against Fluminense despite being linked with a move to Premier League rivals Arsenal this summer. The winger has featured in all of the Blues' Club World Cup matches thus far, including the quarter-final win against Palmeiras, where he came on as a substitute in the second half.
Brazil legend Thiago Silva broke down in tears after he captained his boyhood club Fluminense to a surprise 2-0 win over Champions League finalists Inter Milan in the Round of 16 at the Club World Cup. The 40-year-old centre-back locked up Nerazzurri strikers Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram despite stuggling with his hamstring throughout the game.
