How to watch the Champions League match between Chelsea and Pafos FC, as well as kick-off time and team news.

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.
