Chelsea vs BATE Borisov Live Streaming Today 25-10-2018 UEFA Europa League, Chelsea will face BATE Borisov in the third matchday of the Europa League Group L, at Stamford Bridge Stadium, London on Thursday (10/25/2018) local time.
In the match, Chelsea will not lose their best player, Eden Hazard. The Belgian will undergo recovery from a back injury.
"Yes, we will play without Hazard who is injured. We will try to find a solution for this weekend. This is clearly not easy because other players, Ethan Ampadu, also suffered injuries," said coach Maurizio Sarri.
Besides Hazard, Sarri also could not play Jorginho. Jorginho's position as a link back and front team will be filled Cesc Fabregas.
"Jorginho needs a break because he has played fully in two international matches and our last match. So, this is the right time to rest him," Sarri said.
Although without these two players, Chelsea is still the favorite to win the BATE counter fight. Moreover, the Blues are top of Group L with perfect results in two matches.
"European competition is always difficult. Previously, we underwent two games that were not easy. So, we prepared the next difficult game. BATE always performed better away than the home," Sarri said.
