The 33-year-old reportedly wanted to leave Stamford Bridge desperately and would have loved to go back to Barcelona, but he did not depart during the January transfer window. The striker has struggled to make an impact for Chelsea since moving to Stamford Bridge in August. Kai Havertz is frequently used as a No. 9 in his place.

Nevertheless, Aubameyang has started each of Chelsea’s six Champions League games this season, scoring goals against AC Milan at Stamford Bridge at the San Siro. Chelsea also had to keep Hakim Ziyech, a wanted winger, in the Champions League squad despite having to leave Benoit Badiashile, a £35 million January acquisition, out.

The World Cup champion Enzo Fernandez’s record-breaking signing brought Todd Boehly’s spending in January to an astounding £323.5 million. However, UEFA regulations limit the number of new players that may be registered for the knockout stages to three, so Potter is unable to choose all of his most recent acquisitions. In the end, Potter had to decide between Felix, Badiashile, Fernandez, and Mudryk, with the Frenchman being passed over to make room for the attacking talents.
UEFA unveiled the teams on Friday after receiving confirmation from clubs by the end of Thursday. Later this month, the Blues will meet Borussia Dortmund over two legs in the last-16, but Graham Potter may have difficulty choosing his lineup after Chelsea added eight more players in January.
