Chelsea's injured duo of Reece James and Ben Chilwell traveled to Abu Dhabi to watch the Blues' semi-final match against Al-Hilal.
Chelsea's Club World Cup campaign is being watched by Reece James and Ben Chilwell in Abu Dhabi.
Both players are currently injured and will not compete, but they will support their teammates in their quest to win the trophy for the first time in Blues history.
The full-backs took a walk around the pitch before watching Chelsea's semi-final match against Al Hilal, which the Blues won 1-0 thanks to a Romelu Lukaku goal.
James hasn't played for the club since December's 1-1 draw with Brighton due to a hamstring injury, and he's been a huge loss for Thomas Tuchel's side.
Meanwhile, Chilwell is expected to miss the rest of the season after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury in November's 4-0 Champions League victory over Juventus.
Chelsea last competed in the Club World Cup in 2012, where they were defeated in the final by Brazilian club Corinthians.
Lukaku gave Chelsea a 1-0 lead against Al Hilal just past the half-hour mark, lashing home from close range to snap a five-game scoring drought.
Kepa Arrizabalaga made several saves to frustrate Al Hilal, and Chelsea eventually held on to secure a place in the next round in the final against Palmeiras on Saturday.
The Blues return to domestic action on Saturday, February 19 when they travel to Crystal Palace.
