Our final training session ahead of the league phase fixture \u2013\u00a0and both pre-match press conferences \u2013 took place at Cobham earlier today. The Blues’ squad then began the long journey to Baku, which involved a five-and-a-half-hour flight. <\/p>\n
Enzo Maresca<\/a> confirmed Portuguese winger Pedro Neto<\/a> would not be included in the travelling party due to a ‘small issue’. Benoit Badiashile<\/a>, Levi Colwill<\/a>, Dario Essugo<\/a> and Cole Palmer<\/a> also remain at home to continue recovery work from their respective injuries. <\/p>\n The Blues have recorded back-to-back victories in the Champions League, defeating Benfica and Ajax at Stamford Bridge. A third win, and first on the road in this season’s competition, would put us in a strong position in the league phase table. <\/p>\n Supporters can follow all the build-up from Baku, enjoy live commentary, and receive all the post-match reaction on the Chelsea Official App and website.<\/p>\n Chelsea travelling squad<\/p>\n Goalkeepers: Filip Jorgensen<\/a>, Max Merrick<\/a>, Robert Sanchez<\/a> <\/p>\n Defenders: Josh Acheampong<\/a>, Tosin Adarabioyo<\/a>, Trevoh Chalobah<\/a>, Marc Cucurella<\/a>, Wesley Fofana<\/a>, Malo Gusto<\/a>, Jorrel Hato<\/a>, Reece James<\/a><\/p>\n Midfielders: Facundo Buonanotte, Enzo Fernandez<\/a>, Romeo Lavia<\/a>, Moises Caicedo<\/a>, Andrey Santos<\/a><\/p>\n Forwards: Liam Delap<\/a>, Alejandro Garnacho<\/a>, Tyrique George<\/a>, Jamie Gittens<\/a>, Marc Guiu<\/a>, Joao Pedro<\/a>, Estevao Willian<\/a><\/p>\n
