Up to five new signings will miss out on the Champions League quarterfinal tie.
Chelsea left 330 million in signings last winter month and he will not be able to count on everyone for the knockout most important of the season, the one that will face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
The London team acquired up to eight football players in the January market. He threw in the rest to change the course of a season that was pointing to catastrophic and that is only being fixed because they went back to Borussia Dortmund in the eighth of the Champions League. And that’s where they have an opportunity to fix this whole catastrophe.
Todd Boehlythe owner of the ‘Blues’, opened his wallet to bring himself to Enzo Fernandez (121 million), Mykhaylo Mudryk (70), Benoit Badiashile (38), Noni Madueke (35), Malo want (30), Andrey Santos (12,5), David Datro Fofana (12) y Joao Felix (11).
ENZO, JOAO AND MUDRYK
However, only three of them They will be able to play against Real Madrid. Because? Because UEFA only allows teams to register three new players in the competition.
This put him between a rock and a hard place Graham Potter and theirs… and forced them to make a difficult decision. they opted for Joao Felix, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandezthe most renowned players, and left out the rest.
This implies that Benoit Badiashile, one of the fittest players since January, will not be against Real Madrid. Surely, when Potter made the decision, he did not know that Thiago Silva was going to be out for two monthswhich has directly impacted the team’s plans.
8 OF 10 GAMES PLAYED
Badiashile has been a starter in seven of the ten Premier League games that have been played since he arrived at Chelsea and in another he has come off the bench. With him, the goal has been left to zero four times and has given a great image, to the point that there are doubts about whether it would have been better to sign up the former Monaco player or Mudryk, who has hardly shown anything.
They are no presence against Real Madrid and Silva’s loss could lead Potter to opt for Marc Cucurella as the third center-back, along with Kalidou Koulibaly and Wesley Fofana.
