13 Mar 2019
The Chelsea squad has arrived in Kiev as we look to secure our place in
the last eight of the Europa League.

Maurizio Sarri has brought 21 players with him to the Ukrainian capital,
but there is no Gonzalo Higuain, who remains at home. Otherwise, it is the
boss's strongest squad available to him, which shows just how seriously
this competition is being taken.

Maurizio Sarri enjoys a traditional Kiev welcome
One piece of early team news from Dynamo Kiev is that forward Benjamin
Verbic definitely misses the game.
The Chelsea squad in full is:
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero, Marcin Bulka;
Toni Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz,
Marcos Alonso, Emerson Palmieri, Davide Zappacosta, Ethan Ampadu;
Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, Ross Barkley, Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek;
Callum Hudson-Odoi, Eden Hazard, Pedro, Willian, Olivier Giroud.
We head into the second leg of this last-16 tie with a 3-0 lead following
last week's home win, which came courtesy of goals from Pedro, Willian and
Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The team trains this evening at Kiev's Olympic Stadium, venue for
Thursday's game, which kicks off at 5.55pm UK time (7.55pm local time).
Afterwards, Maurizio Sarri and one of his players will speak to the media,
with all the key information to follow on our official Twitter account,
this website and the official club app, which will also feature live audio
commentary of Thursday's match.
