Chelsea tweak Champions League squad list | OneFootball

A day before debuting in the Champions League, Chelsea changed the list of players registered in the European competition. Due to a thigh injury, Portuguese midfielder Dario Essugo was replaced by Argentine midfielder Facundo Buonanotte.

The change does not affect any of the main pieces of coach Enzo Maresca, who continues to count on his starters in the squad. As these are two young options among Chelsea's players, the position change should give minutes to midfielder Buonanotte, who is only 21 years old.
