Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has been dropped from Chelsea\u2019s Champion\u2019s League squad as new signings Enzo Fernandez, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Joao Felix have been added to the Blues\u2019 squad.<\/p>\n
Aubameyang was excluded alongside Benoit Badiashile, who joined the Blues on a \u00a335m deal last month, in the newly released list on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n Chelsea were only allowed to register a maximum of three new players for the knockout stages as they face Borussia Dortmund in the last 16.<\/span><\/p>\n Clubs had until 11pm on Thursday, February 2, to inform UEFA of their desired squad changes.<\/span><\/p>\n All clubs are limited to a 25-man squad and Chelsea used 24 players in the group stage, with only one of them, Jorginho, leaving the club in the January transfer window.<\/span><\/p>\n The three new registered players are allowed to have played for another club in European competitions this season.<\/span><\/p>\n Chelsea made eight signings in January for a combined total of \u00a3323.3m. Malo Gusto is staying on loan at Lyon and Andrey Santos is waiting for a work permit so that left Graham Potter with the dilemma of picking three players from Fernandez, Mudryk, Felix, Badiashile, David Datro Fofana and Noni Madueke.<\/span><\/p>\n Aubameyang is however still included in Chelsea\u2019s 25-man Premier League squad along with their new signings as there are no restrictions on how many changes clubs can make in the EPL<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has been dropped from Chelsea\u2019s Champion\u2019s League squad as new signings Enzo Fernandez, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Joao Felix<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":283,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281\/revisions\/283"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsnow.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
