Chelsea's new signing Papy Djilobodji has been left out of the club's Champions League squad.

Djilobodji was signed from French side Nantes on Tuesday after the Premier League champions were repeatedly turned down by Everton in their pursuit of John Stones.

The Senegal defender will wear Chelsea's number 15 shirt, but he has been omitted from the squad submitted to Uefa for Europe's elite club competition.

Eight locally-trained players must be submitted in the 25-man A List squad, or the squad size be reduced.

Chelsea have a Champions League A List squad of 22 players, which includes summer signings Asmir Begovic, Radamel Falcao, Pedro, Baba Rahman and Kenedy.

Burkina Faso international Bertrand Traore has also been included.

Jose Mourinho's side play Maccabi Tel-Aviv in their opening Group G game on September 16.

Chelsea then play on September 29 at Mourinho's former club Porto and their third game is at Dynamo Kiev on October 20.


source:News of Ibra's return crashes website


The website of Malmo FF crashed following the news that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who started his career with the Swedish champions, will return to the city with Paris St Germain for the group stage of the Champions League.

After beating Scottish champions Celtic to make the group stage, Malmo were drawn in Group A with Real Madrid, Shaktar Donetsk and PSG.

"There was a lot of pressure on it (the website) just after the draw was made," Malmo's head of communications Peter Ahlander told Reuters by telephone, adding that the club were delighted with the draw.

Ibrahimovic left Malmo in 2001 to join Ajax, but despite a slew of league titles with the likes of Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Barcelona, the 33-year-old has never won the Champions League.
