Chelsea's travelling squad for their Champions League fixture against Atalanta has been confirmed.

It’s a quick turnaround for Chelsea as they switch to European action after a challenging week in the Premier League, which saw them lose to Leeds and draw to Bournemouth.

They are in a commanding spot in the league phase of the Champions League, which Maresca will be keen to take advantage of despite several key absentees.

Levi Colwill, Dario Essugo, Romeo Lavia and Liam Delap are all sidelined and have not travelled with the squad to Bergamo for Tuesday's clash,

Cole Palmer is not among the travelling party for the Blues, who face an Atalanta side who suffered a 3-1 defeat over the weekend to Hellas Verona.

However, the Italian side do have an identical record to Chelsea in the competition so far this season, and will therefore pose a real challenge at Stadio di Bergamo. 

Other notable, and expected, names on the plane to Italy are Moises Caicedo, who is only serving a domestic suspension, Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella, Estevao and Reece James.
