Chelsea’s Champions League group stage dates and kick off times confirmed

Chelsea's Champions League group stage fixture schedule has been confirmed.

The 2020-21 winners are in Group E, alongside AC Milan, FC Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb.

It will be a Blues reunion for Fiyako Tomori, who left Stamford Bridge for the San Siro last season.

Milan technical director Paolo Maldini said after the draw: "The favourites are Milan and Chelsea. It is good to have a strong team in the group, it can simplify the qualification a little bit. It's a group that satisfies us.

"The goal is to improve. Last year, in a difficult group, we finished fourth and therefore the goal is to qualify by finishing in the top two."
