Chelsea begin their Champions League knockout stage campaign this Wednesday as they take on Borussia Dortmund in the last 16. Graham Potter will be hoping to keep his unbeaten record in European action for Chelsea intact with a trip to Germany arriving this week with the second leg to be played at Stamford Bridge in March.
Although focus has now only just primarily shifted to the Blues' game against Dortmund, there has been a lot of Champions League-related talk emerging over the last few weeks from the club. That was because Potter faced a number of significant dilemmas over who to include in his 25-man squad.
Of the seven new acquisitions joining in January, only three could be named out of David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and Enzo Fernandez. The first two names were relatively easy omissions given their lack of experience and game time at the club since joining.
