Chelsea kicks off the UEFA Women’s Champions League season 2025/26 on Wednesday.
For this opening match they travel to the Netherlands to take on Eredivisie Champion Twente. The team of Sonia Bompastor has enjoyed a strong, unbeaten start of their home season. Consequently, they will try to put down an early milestone in Europe now that they are starting their search for continental glory. The Blues also know their opponents well.
Last season they even beat them twice in this competition, including a large 6-1 win. This earlier success, combined with their superior team depth, makes them strong favorites. That is why fans expect a professional achievement to give the campaign a winning start.
Chelsea team news
Sonia Bompastor has confirmed that several important players are not available for the trip. For example, the club attacker Catarina Macario has excluded a small Achillespee problem. As a result, she is standing next to Lucy Bronze, Lauren James and Niamh Charles on the sidelines.
Captain Millie Bright is approaching a potential milestone, since she is about to make her 299th performance for the club. She will lead the defense, where Nathalie Björn will probably work with her. In the meantime, it is expected that Aggie Beever-Jones and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd will cause the threat from the wings in the attack.
