تشيلسي savoured continental glory in the دوري المؤتمرات last season, before going on to lift the كأس العالم للأندية FIFA. A promising start has been made to their 2025-26 الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز campaign, with attention now switching to دوري أبطال أوروبا matters.
The Blues are preparing for a trip to بايرن ميونيخ on Wednesday that will see them line up against former توتنهام striker Harry Kane. Buonanotte could figure in that contest after becoming the beneficiary of a recent rule change.
UEFA now allows clubs to make changes to their European squad lists if serious injuries are suffered. Essugo falls into that category, with the 20-year-old Portuguese set to spend several weeks on the sidelinesafter undergoing an operation.
Chelsea have confirmed that Buonanotte has been added to their squad. He was initially overlooked on the back of completing an initial season-long loan move to Stamford Bridge from برايتون on transfer deadline day.
The 20-year-old الأرجنتين international made his full debut for the Blues against برينتفورد, in a 2-2 draw, and will now be hoping to see European game time. Benoit Badiashile and Romeo Lavia have been able to train ahead of a trip to Germany, but it remains to be seen whether they are ready for competitive game time.
