Emergency Adjustment in Chelsea's Champions League Squad
Chelsea announced a modification to its squad participating in the Champions League, where Argentine player Facundo Bonanoti was included instead of Dario Isogu, who recently underwent surgery following a thigh injury while with the Portugal U21 national team during the international break.
Bonanoti, 20 years old, joined Chelsea on loan from Brighton on the last day of the transfer window, but he was not initially included in the European roster. However, after UEFA's decision to allow exceptional modifications to the 25-player list in cases of serious injuries, he was officially registered.
Bonanoti is now eligible to participate in the upcoming match against Bayern Munich on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena, as part of the first round of the group stage of the Champions League, after starting in the team's match against Brentford in the Premier League.
In another context, both Benoit Badiashile and Romeo Lavia returned to team training after recovering from injuries that kept them out at the start of the season. The training also saw the return of Brazilian player Estevao, who missed the recent match against Brentford.
Chelsea continues its preparations strongly for the European clash, with fans hoping for a strong start in the continent's most important tournament.
