Chelsea is gearing up for a thrilling match against Panathinaikos, set to take place at OAKA Stadium on Thursday at 19:45.

The countdown is on for this highly anticipated game, as the Greens welcome the Blues for the second round of the Conference League. Panathinaikos will be looking for a strong performance against Enzo Maresca’s side, who suffered a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

As they prepare for the match, Chelsea aims to secure a second consecutive win in the tournament. Just two days before the game, the club shared a photo of the iconic Acropolis on their social media, expressing their excitement for the trip to Athens.

However, Chelsea has not registered enough players in their European squad, leaving out some key players, including the in-form Cole Palmer.
