Former Chelsea favourite David Luiz made an emotional return to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, despite injury ruling him out of the Champions League clash. The Brazilian star used the trip to reconnect with old friends, handing over touching gifts to a current Blues defender and a legendary staff member who served the club for nearly 56 years before retiring in 2024.
Pafos manager Albert Celades was left baffled during his post-match press conference at Stamford Bridge after being asked to comment on the ongoing family feud involving his former team-mate David Beckham. Following his side's narrow 1-0 Champions League defeat to Chelsea, the Spaniard was blindsided by a question regarding the "saga" between the Manchester United legend and his son, Brooklyn.
Cole Palmer has been left out of the Chelsea squad to face Pafos in the Champions League on Wednesday night, with head coach Liam Rosenior explaining why the Blues will have to cope without their talisman at Stamford Bridge. The Blues come into the match in 14th place in the standings but know that a victory will see them firmly in the battle to finish in the top eight.
Liam Rosenior has confirmed that the virus sweeping through the Chelsea squad has claimed yet another victim. The Blues have seen several players ruled out due to illness over the last week and it continues to be an issue for the new Chelsea head coach as he prepares to take charge of his team in the Champions League for the first time on Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge.
Before last season, very few casual fans would have been aware of Pafos FC's existence. The Cypriot outfit played in Europe for the first time in their 11-year history, reaching the last 16 of the Conference League, and followed up that impressive run by clinching their maiden league title. The latter achievement earned Pafos a spot in the Champions League qualifying rounds, and helped attract one of the most famous footballers of his generation.
