Chelsea Player Left Out of Europa Conference League Squad Due to ‘Admin Error’
In a bizarre mix-up, Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo was initially left out of the Blues’ Europa Conference League squad ahead of their clash against Servette. However, the 26-year-old has now been added back to the squad after an administration error was rectified.
According to Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol, Adarabioyo was not included in the initial squad list submitted to UEFA, with Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, and Raheem Sterling also missing out. However, it was revealed that the defender’s absence was a simple mistake.
Adarabioyo joined Chelsea on a four-year deal in July after his contract with Fulham expired. The defender began his career at Manchester City, making his professional debut at Stamford Bridge in 2016. He spent season-long loan spells at West Brom and Blackburn Rovers before moving to Fulham in 2020.
At Fulham, Adarabioyo made 33 appearances in his first season and 44 in the following campaign, playing a crucial role in the club’s promotion from the Championship. He was signed by Chelsea after his contract ended, and the defender is eager to help the Blues push forward.
"This is a huge club, and this is a full-circle moment for me," Adarabioyo said. "I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional debut there. I’m very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go."
The addition of Adarabioyo to the squad is a boost for Chelsea ahead of their Europa Conference League clash against Servette. The match is set to take place on Thursday, and the Blues will be looking to secure a win to boost their chances of advancing in the competition.
