A 21-player Chelsea squad has been confirmed for the return leg of our Women's Champions League qualifier away to Real Sociedad.
The Blues head into Wednesday's second leg with a 5-2 advantage secured at Plough Lane last week and, following that clash, Sociedad head coach Arturo Ruiz left the Spanish side to join Brighton & Hove Albion in the Women's Super League.
Tomorrow's match, held at the Estadio Zubieta in San Sebastian, will kick off at 7pm local time, which will be 6pm in the UK. The game will be shown live on the Chelsea Official App and website. You just need to make sure you are signed in!
An aggregate victory would see us qualify for the league phase of the Women's Champions League for 2026/27, with the draw for the next stage to be held on September 4 in Nyon. The first matchday of the league phase is set for Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 September.
Midfielder Erin Cuthbert, new signing Manaka Matsukubo and striker Mayra Ramirez remain unavailable through injury, as confirmed by head coach Sonia Bompastor in last week's press conference. Should she play on Wednesday night, Blues forward Aggie Beever-Jones will make her 99th appearance for the club.
