Confirmed Chelsea 23-man travelling squad vs Napoli in the Champions League | OneFootball

Chelsea's travelling squad for their Champions League fixture against Napoli has been confirmed.

It's matchday eight in the Champions League and Chelsea will conclude their European league phase with a trip to Naples to face Antonio Conte's Napoli.

Head coach Liam Rosenior has made a positive start to life as Chelsea head coach, winning four of his opening five games in all competitions (L1).

Wednesday will be his first Champions League away game. He claimed a 1-0 win over Pafos last week to keep the Blues in control of their own destiny as they eye automatic progression into the last-16.

The 41-year-old's side are currently occupying the final spot in the top eight. Chelsea will be keen to avoid a repeat of their last outing to Italy, which was last month, when they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Atalanta under previous head coach Enzo Maresca.

"It would be optimal (to avoid the play-offs)," admitted Rosenior earlier this month, "especially when you're a new coach coming in and want the training days to help imprint your ideas a little bit more, but the most important thing is going through."

With preparations almost complete, Rosenior has now decided on his travelling squad for the trip to Naples.
