Noni Madueke will start for Chelsea in their semi-final match against Fluminense, according to manager Enzo Maresca.
Despite intense rumours linking him to Premier League rivals Arsenal, Maresca is prepared to keep Madueke in his starting lineup.
So far in this year's Club World Cup, the 23-year-old has started every game for the Blues.
It has been claimed that Madueke has reached an agreement with the Gunners over personal matters and is now waiting for the two teams to resolve the transfer fee.
Reporters asked Maresca about the similar noise that occurred before the Palmeiras game, and he responded positively after being given half an hour.
In the event that we require Noni's assistance, I am certain that he will provide it. I know how challenging it is to cope when there is a lot of background noise.
