Chelsea vs Manchester City: Preview, Predicted Starting XI and 5 talking points ahead of the Community Shield

#3 Will this be Willian’s last game for Chelsea?

Willian's future at Chelsea is still not resolved

The transfer market was full of rumours that Willian was headed for Chelsea exit, with Barcelona and Manchester United both vying for the Brazilian's signature. The Brazilian was enjoying his vacations due to his involvement in the World Cup with Brazil and had played no part in Chelsea's preseason games so far.

But recently, the rumours have dried up, with Chelsea Coach Maurizio Sarri reiterating his desire to keep Willian at the club. The Brazilian has also joined up with the Chelsea squad ahead of the Community Shield, but it is unlikely that he shall start the game due to lack of practice. However, with Manchester United still looking to bolster the right side of their attack, the rumours cannot be brushed aside until the transfer window closes.
