Panathinaikos vs. Chelsea player updates

Enzo Maresca in his pre-match press conference held on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, confirmed the inclusion of four academy graduates in Chelsea’s squad for their upcoming Conference League clash against Panathinaikos scheduled for today.

The Blues are aiming to build on their strong start to the group stage, having secured a 4-2 victory over Gent at home before the international break. Chelsea hopes to make it two wins in a row during their trip to Athens. However, a significant number of first-team players will not feature in the match, as Maresca has decided to rest Levi Colwill, Reece James, Moises Caicedo, Nicolas Jackson, and Malo Gusto.

These players remained in London, joined by Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Ben Chilwell, and Marcus Bettinelli all of whom were not registered for Chelsea's group stage squad of the tournament.

Panathinaikos vs. Chelsea correct score prediction

Enzo Maresca's side would be looking to return to winning ways in their Conference League fixture Panathinaikos vs. Chelsea scheduled for today but with the way the squad is currently thin, this might be a tough fixture for the Blues with a win looking very unlikely.

We expect this to be a tough fixture for Chelsea because this is a new terrority for the young players who would be playing against a very hostile home crown.

Panathinaikos vs. Chelsea final score: 2-2
