World Cup 2018: Top 3 Chelsea players who could return as Champions

#2 Cesar Azpilicueta- Spain

Azpi's versatility will be a great asset

Cesar Azpilicueta a.k.a Dave has been one of Chelsea's most consistent players over the past 5 years or so. The versatile defender who can play at centre-back just as well as he can deputize at right-back is all set to represent Spain in Russia.

Azpilicueta is an excellent passer of the ball and it is difficult to dispossess the 28-year-old. While he may not have the flair that the Spaniards are renowned for, his focused approach to the game and mighty impressive defensive abilities will go a long way in determining Spain's chances in Russia.

Though Azplicueta will not have his friend and teammate Alvaro Morata, with whom he has a telepathic understanding, at the World Cup, he is expected to play an influential role in Spain's campaign.

Azpilicueta scored twice and assisted 6 goals in the Premier League this season. The Spain team that has a raft of world-class midfielders and attackers and could very well be one of the most exciting teams at the World Cup. If their recent 6-1 thrashing of Argentina in an international friendly is anything to go by, Spain have more than just a decent chance to win the cup.
