Chelsea will still play an end-of-season friendly against New England Revolution in May if reach the Europa League final.
As reported by the London Evening Standard, it was confirmed earlier this month that the Blues will fly out to America just days after the domestic season ends.
The game against New England Revolution will be part of a ‘Say no to anti-Semitism’ campaign, but fans have raised concerns about the timing.
The final game of the Premier League campaign takes place on May 12, with Chelsea firmly locked in a battle to finish inside the top four.
This year’s Europa League final will be played in Azerbaijan on May 29, a game that should Chelsea reach will require a 5000-mile round trip. Add to that the 6500-mile round trip to Boston, the Blues are left with little recovery time.
The club have promised to take a full-strength squad to the game, but that could well change if the club do make it all the way to the Europa League final.
