Chelsea handed UEFA deadline to name Champions League squad with Enzo Fernandez inclusion

Chelsea's January transfer deadline day was frantic at best as the Blues tried their best to shuffle their squad around to get the best balance they could heading into the latter half of the season. An exit was confirmed as Jorginho made the £12million move to rivals Arsenal as the end of his contract neared.

There was also promise of a big addition to the squad and by the closure of the window, the Blues finally got their man, That target was in the form of Enzo Fernandez, a 21-year-old midfielder that has plenty of ability as well as potential for the future, fitting the club's new philosophy perfectly.

However as one deadline passes, another creeps up on the Blues and with it comes difficult decisions that will have to be made. That new deadline is for their Champions League squad, with only a few weeks until the first round of 16 tie against Borussia Dortmund in the competition.
