Premier League club Chelsea will play a Malaysian all-star team in Kuala Lumpur in July as part of a two-match Asian tour.

The London club will play a side comprised of the best players from the Malaysian Super League on July 29 in the Malaysian capital, the club said in a statement. Details of the second Asian match will be announced shortly.
