Training this week is a cross channel swim. Werner has a ball and chain attached to improve his ball control skills

Never mind - Tuchel is shuttling them back and forth in a minibus.

I have a bicycle.

It’s okay, Rodney’s brother Del,has arranged for us to travel to Lille on this coach.😀

Wonder which players France won't allow in due to lack of covid shots.

Don't think the player's insurers would be too happy with that coach, might be a fire risk.........

Club has just released a statement on tickets which (if I may summarise) states f**k all change or help from UK Government...

Nah, I’m sure it’ll be fine…😀
 

Its Lille for a Champions League Match, we’d be using it for. Not a Jolly Boys Outing to Margate…😀

Luckily France changed their mandates so unvaccinated players can play as long as they provide a negative covid test...

 

To be fair I was also in your boat earlier just to see who the unvaxxed players were.lol

Mendy

 

AC

Silva

Rudiger

 

James (or Dave if not fit)

Jorginho 

Kovacic

Alonso

 

Mount

Havertz 

Pulisic

Probably in a beat up Volkswagen station wagon for the anonymity

I wonder if, with all the uncertainty around us, if Uefa would prefer Lille really show up and knock us out tomorrow to avoid the risk of our situation worsening and not being allowed to carry onnif we get past Lille. Would be less of a headache for them and at least we were beaten on the field.

I don't think UEFA will be overly worried by that scenario. They will just do what they did with the Russian clubs if needed. They kicked Spartak Moscow out of last 16 of Europa and gave RB Leipzig a bye. I imagine the same would apply if it comes down to that. Hopefully not though.

Yeah game goes ahead. if we make it through our position would be under threat I the sanctions affect Uefas ŕules. UEFA are in contact with the EU about that.

First leg of the QF is mid-April. Assuming the timeframe for bids stays in place we should know of the planned new owner by the end of month.  If we are still no clearer by mid-April we would probably have bigger issues to worry about than the QF of the Champs League.

I hope UEFA lets us play and is okay with us waiting on a new owner. 

 

If we make it through and get Juve in the next round, I know just the bus for the team:

 

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

Cheery thread this one. What happened to Al that talk about just play football and let management worry about other stuff?

we have most players fit and hopefully some wing backs, although I will bet Dave is not fully fit. Also do we know if it’s Reece;s hammy that’s keeping out?

suspect kova and Jorginho will start and what is becoming the standard front three havertz, Werner and mount.
