Chelsea welcomed back youngster Josh Acheampong to first-team training ahead of their Conference League clash against 1. FC Heidenheim.

For the fourth game of our UEFA Conference League “league phase” journey, we make our way to Heidenheim in southern Germany, where the local upstarts await with open arms and waving flags and probably some un-well wishes for our football.

Heidenheim have also picked up nine points, having beaten Hearts last time out. However, they sit 15th in the Bundesliga table after a poor start to the season and now face a huge step up in class. Heidenheim vs Chelsea is scheduled for an 5:45pm GMT kick-off time on Thursday,

Chelsea looks to maintain its perfect record in the UEFA Conference League when it travels to Germany to face Heidenheim.

It’s once again UEFA Conference League time as we head south to Germany and take on yet another brand new opposition for us in 1.FC Heidenheim, who have experienced a meteoric rise over the past couple decades from the depths of the amateur leagues to now playing in Europe for the second consecutive season.
