Skips training session Azpilicueta skipped Friday's training session due to a knock taken to his calf in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Japan, according to Sergio Santos of Relevo.

Impact Azpilicueta logged an assist but only played for the first half in Thursday's defeat. He or Dani Carvajal will start in Tuesday's Round of 16 match against Morocco depending on how Azpilicueta recovers and the whims of manager Luis Enrique.

Logs assist in loss Azpilicueta logged one assist on one chance created while playing for the first half of Thursday's 2-1 loss to Japan.

Impact Azpilicueta set up Alvaro Morata for their side's only goal ahead of narrowly classifying for the knockout round. As he was soon replaced by Dani Carvajal for the second half, it looks like Azpilicueta will get chances to play but isn't the best choice for more difficult situations.

Plays second half in loss Azpilicueta (calf) played for the second half of Thursday's friendly win over Jordan.

Impact Azpilicueta picked up a calf issue during the last league match Nov. 12 against Newcastle but it was evidently not enough to limit him for long. He'll provide good competition with Dani Carvajal for minutes at right-back once the tournament begins Nov. 23 against Costa Rica.

Impact Azpilicueta isn't the only player to suffer a nagging injury just ahead of the World Cup and as the issue isn't expected to be serious, he'll hope to be available in Spain's opening match Nov. 23 against Costa Rica. Though his minutes are beginning to decline as he gets older, Azpilicueta has still kept three clean sheets in 11 league appearances (seven starts) and could play a regular role after starting four times during the Euros in 2021.

Strong XI appearance in win Azpilicueta created one chance, sent in two crosses (one accurate), made three tackles (one won), and added four clearances and an interception during Wednesday's 2-1 victory over...

Impact Azpilicueta was in the starting XI for this one after playing just 16 minutes across Chelsea's last two competitive matches. He played the full 90 and provided strong energy throughout. He'll likely continue seeing extended time out on the right flank while Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell deal with injuries, and he can be a compelling fantasy play when his squad are in sync.

Chelsea draws 0-0 at Brentford, still unbeaten under Potter

Chelsea maintained its unbeaten run under Graham Potter but had to settle for a point after a lackluster 0-0 draw at Brentford in the Premier League

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • Associated Press

Keeps clean sheet in draw Azpilicueta took two shots (one on target) and created a chance in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Brentford. He also made five clearances and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Azpilicueta made his fourth Premier League start of the campaign on Wednesday, and his first in a back-three since the season opener at Everton. Even with Wesley Fofana (knee) out with injury, Trevoh Chalobah seems to be the preferred option to pair with Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly over Azpilicueta, although he does still get opportunities at right-back as well.

Starts in UCL draw Azpilicueta created a chance and won one of one tackles in last week's 1-1 Champions League draw against Salzburg. He also made two clearances and two interceptions in the match.

Impact Azpilicueta has featured in all seven matches this season since resigning with Chelsea, with four of those appearances coming in the starting lineup either in a back-three or at right-back. The summer arrivals of Kalidou Koulibaly and Wesley Fofana likely mean Azpilicueta is no longer a first-choice defender, but he is still likely to see plenty of rotation in the XI throughout the campaign.

AUGUST 4, 2022 • SKY.COM

Re-signs with Chelsea Azpilicueta has signed a two-year contract with Chelsea following the expiration of his previous deal in the summer, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Azpilicueta has been a rock with Chelsea for a decade now, but after consistently starting 36 Premier League games from 2015-19, his playing time has decreased the last two campaigns to just 24 starts each time. At 32-years-old, he will likely continue seeing less and less of the pitch, and Trevoh Chalobah may have surpassed him in the center-back depth chart by now, but Azpilicueta has committed to another two seasons in London regardless.

Defends well against Watford Azpilicueta made three clearances, three interceptions and won two of three tackles in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Watford.

Impact Azpilicueta ends the season with two goals, three assists and eight clean sheets across 36 appearances (32 starts) in both the Premier League and the Champions League, this time with a more even balance between central defense and right back/right wing back in large part due to Reece James' long-term hamstring injury in the second half of the campaign.
