Chelsea vs Zenit: how and where to watch - times, TV, online
All the information you need on how to watch Chelsea facing Zenit in match-day 1 (Group H) of the 2021/22 Champions League at Stamford Bridge stadium.
Chelsea kicks off its UEFA Champions League defense on Tuesday, welcoming Zenit St. Petersburg to Stamford Bridge in what will officially make the Blues the team to beat in the whole competition.
After 3-0 Premier League win over Aston Villa on Saturday, which featured Mateo Kovačić and new signing Saúl Ñíguez as the starting midfielders, there was a slight bit of hope that we could see N’Golo Kanté again in the lineup.
But while Kanté is on the right path to fully recover, head coach Thomas Tuchel and his medical staff prefer not to risk a quick return — while waiting for the derby against Tottenham coming up over the weekend.
Another important player who will miss the Zenit match is Christian Pulisic, as he’s not even back in training from the injury suffered during the last international break. It sounds more like it will be another couple of weeks.
