Chelsea have confirmed their 25-man squad for the knockout phase of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League.

UEFA rules only allow teams to add up to three new players to the squad that they had named for the group stage.

Chelsea have opted to add new signings Joao Felix, Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk.

Fellow January signings Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Noni Madueke will not be able to play for Chelsea in this season's Champions League.

Nor will Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, after the former Arsenal and Barcelona striker was left out of Chelsea's updated squad to make space for some of their new players.

Chelsea will face Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The first leg will take place in Germany on February 15 before Dortmund come to Stamford Bridge on March 7.
