Him being available in the Capital One Cup against Swansea is a major boost. I guess it has something to do with the fact he didn't feature for Newcastle in that competition. As for the Europa League, I thought you can include in your squad list one player who played in the competition for a different club. I saw that happening in other clubs in the past. Surely, there is the possibility.
So he can play in the COC as well?! And I thought we can make him eligible in the Europa League as well, you can register one player, I know you can lol. Welcome to Chelsea FC! I believe no one will regret this day!
Is he really not eligible to play for us in the Europa League? I think there is the possibility to include in your squad list one player who played in the competition for a different club. Or am I wrong?
