Chelsea have registered 33 academy players for their Champions League group stage clash against Ajax on Wednesday.
The list of players includes former Chelsea and Brazil captain Thiago Silva‘s son Isago and comprises various youngsters aged between 16 and 19.
Sources at the club say the move is simply an administrative decision to add all in one go rather than on a game-by-game or a case-by-case basis.
The players have been added to an unlimited B list which means they will be able to be called upon for any of Chelsea’s remaining group stage matches.
UEFA did not immediately respond when contacted by ESPN.
