Team news & squads
Predicted Lineups
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea are once again without Cole Palmer, but they did add loan addition Facundo Buonanotte to their league phase squad, so he’s available to feature on Tuesday night.
Buonanotte was ineligible to face parent club Brighton at the weekend.
Trevoh Chalobah’s suspension only counts towards domestic fixtures, so he could retain his place at centre-back in Levi Colwill’s long-term absence. Colwill and Palmer are the most notable of Chelsea’s absentees, but the Blues are also without Liam Delap, Dário Essugo, Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana. Maresca has also listed João Pedro, Moisés Caicedo and Andrey Santos as doubts.
Benoît Badiashile could come into Chelsea’s defence and make his first start of the season, while Roméo Lavia is also available for selection. Alejandro Garnacho has been on the periphery thus far, but is a contender to start down the left-hand side.
Benfica Team News
Mourinho’s Benfica certainly aren’t without talent, especially in attacking areas.
Vangelis Pavlidis will lead the line off the back of an excellent 2024–25 campaign, having also scored twice at the weekend, while Dodi Lukébakio joined the club in the summer, having emerged as a beacon of hope in Seville. Georgiy Sudakov is a highly-rated Ukrainian playmaker who’s scored twice for Tuesday’s visitors this term, and midfielder Richard Ríos was one of the standout performers at the 2025 Club World Cup.
On the injury front, Manu Silva and Alexander Bah remain out with long-term knee injuries, while Bruma is out for the long haul with a ruptured Achilles.
