Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has again rotated his side for the Conference League last-16 second leg against Copenhagen.

Chelsea have a 2-1 lead from last week’s first leg and despite the narrow advantage Maresca has left plenty of big names on the sidelines.

The winners will face Molde of Norway or Polish side Legia Warsaw in the quarter-finals.
