Chelsea have been drawn against FC Copenhagen in the Europa Conference League last 16, following their dominant league phase performance. Cole Palmer, Trevoh Chalobah, and Mathis Amougou have been added to the knockout squad as the Blues prepare for their first leg on March 6 and the return fixture on March 13.
After winning all six of their group stage matches, Chelsea will face FC Copenhagen, who narrowly progressed past FC Heidenheim with a 4-3 aggregate win after extra time. With key players like Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia still injured, Enzo Maresca will look to Palmer’s inclusion to provide an attacking boost as the Blues aim for European silverware.
Should Chelsea advance past Copenhagen, they will face Molde or Legia Warsaw in the quarter-finals. A potential semi-final tie could see them play Pafos, Djurgarden, Borac, or SK Rapid, with the final set for May 28 in Wroclaw, Poland.
With domestic form struggling, winning the Conference League would not only add a trophy to Chelsea’s season but could also provide a pathway back into European competition for next season.
