Meanwhile, Omeruo was not included in Chelsea's squad for their US tour.

The guy dey lucky Randy Orton no retaliate

Hmmm

Kick off is less than 5 hours away

Meanwhile in the western division of competition Everton beat Juventus 6-5 on penalties after the match ended 1-1 after 90 minutes. They will now face the winner of the match between LA Galaxy and Real Madrid later on tonight.

I'm backing the Blues to beat Inter, but it will be a tough match

The match is by 1am tomorrow.

My prediction is that Chelsea will win the match. The winner gets to play AC Milan on Sunday in New York city. The loser plays Valencia on the same day. Read more by going to the link above.

Lampard and Schurrle are not likely to play in today's match. Lampard is still injured and Mourinho does not want to risk him. Andre Schurrle is out with illness.

Soludo all the way, but how can you make a person the status of Akunyili his running mate?

Thomas Kalas sustained an injury so he didn't make the trip to the US. He's back in England to received treatment from Chelsea's medical team

solomon111: This chap is going to be the varane of chelsea.

But I think he needs to mature first. I don't see him benching the likes of Luiz, Cahill, Ivanovic or even captain Terry next season. But I know that in the end he would be a fantastic player.

I'll see what I'll do about that

kaorama: Good news. The chap shows signs of a future great footballer. He can be one of the best defenders in the word. Hopefully, he will replace John Terry. Wish him well.

Yeah, but Terry is still a long way from retirement. Guess he'll have to settle for a place on the bench in the foreseeable future. But I believe Mourinho has some plans for him going by the way he made sure that he receives a work permit.

Hmmm, I have my reservations on the "Africa's best centre-half" part. What makes you think he's the best, considering that he's still 19 years old?

Nigeria's Kenneth Omeruo has been granted a 5-year work permit to play for Chelsea.http://wearebluesforever..com/2013/07/kenneth-omerou-receives-5-year-work.html

Nigeria's Kenneth Omeruo has been granted 5-year work permit by the British authorities to play for Chelsea, http://wearebluesforever..com/2013/07/kenneth-omerou-receives-5-year-work.html

Nigerian and Chelsea midfielder, Kenneth Omeruo, has finally been granted work permit in England. The 19-year old fullback was signed from Belgian Pro League side, Standard Liege, in January of last year. He spent the rest of the season and the whole of the 2012-2013 season on loan at ADO Den Haag. He is yet to make an official appearance for Chelsea due the fact that had, until today, not been able to obtain a work permit from British officials.

Omeruo has represented his country, Nigeria, at the Under-21 level and senior levels. He played a crucial role in Nigeria's campaign at the 2011 FIFA U-21 Championship in Colombia. He earned his first senior cap at the age of 19 in a goalless draw with Cape Verde preparatory to the 2013 African Cup of Nations which Nigeria would go on to win. He recently represented his country in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil, starting all three games as Nigeria was bundled out of the tournament in the group stages courtesy of losses to beaten semifinalists Uruguay (2-1) and beaten finalists Spain (3-0). He has won 14 senior caps for Nigeria (as of July 31, 2013).
