What are the prospects for the Spanish sides?
Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has won the Champions League four times
Real Madrid are, of course, always dangerous in this competition and will have added motivation after failing badly in the past couple of years with consecutive last-16 exits.
Barcelona have started the season brightly but realistically the squad is too shallow and blighted by too many flaws for them to be considered among the favourites.
Atletico Madrid, though, could go a long way: they will be strong at the back as always, and if the new strike pairing of Luis Suarez and Joao Felix fulfils its potential they'll be hard to stop.
And Sevilla? Underestimate them at your peril.

Bayern Munich addressed the issues regarding their squad late in the transfer window and remain among the strongest teams in Europe. They are capable of defending the title, but it is more likely we will see a slight drop in performance this season.
Borussia Dortmund should win their group and reach at least the quarter-finals if they manage to keep the defence healthy.
RB Leipzig could battle Manchester United for second spot in Group H. Even without Timo Werner, last season's semi-finalists are tough to beat thanks to Julian Nagelsmann's analytical mind and a squad full of highly athletic players.
Borussia Monchengladbach should see their participation in this year's competition as a chance to learn and grow.

I don't see a clear-cut favourite this year, as the two previous winners have to deal with some issues that might hinder them from winning it again.

It's hardly sticking my neck out to suggest PSG will challenge strongly again.
Yes, they've lost Thiago Silva, but with Marquinhos replacing him in central defence and as captain, and Danilo Pereira's arrival in midfield, Thomas Tuchel's men are stronger and better balanced.
Andre Villas-Boas worked a miracle to get Marseille back into the competition for the first time since 2013-14, but even with Florian Thauvin fit again, the squad looks thin - a helpful draw might see them sneak into the knockout stages though.

You can't rule out a team fielding Cristiano Ronaldo but Juventus have a young manager in Andrea Pirlo, are in the process of rejuvenating their squad and lack quality in midfield. Their quest to end a 24-year wait will continue.
Inter proved their worth as they reached the final of last season's Europa League and have since signed Achraf Hakimi and Arturo Vidal. Their focus will be on the league title though, something Antonio Conte sees as a necessary step to form a winning mentality.

In my opinion, the eventual winner will come from England. Spanish clubs haven't invested enough, a second win for Bayern seems unrealistic and Italian clubs lack that extra bit of quality.
Liverpool and Manchester City, as long as Sergio Aguero recovers and Ruben Dias proves capable of filling Vincent Kompany's boots, are my favourites, with PSG their main danger.

England played West Indies, Pakistan, Ireland and Australia this summer
England players will be free to withdraw from tours if living and playing in bio-secure bubbles is impacting their mental health, says limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan.
England games were played at bio-secure venues this summer amid the coronavirus pandemic, with players spending several weeks living in on-site hotels.
Similar measures are in place at the Indian Premier League and are expected to be needed again for future tours.
"I think it is untenable," Morgan said.
"I don't think it's possible. I actually think it's probably one of the more challenging times for anybody involved in the cricket industry."
England's men played West Indies, Pakistan, Ireland and Australia this summer with all matches played at Emirates Old Trafford or the Ageas Bowl, where the players stayed in on-site hotels.
Players were unable to leave the site until the end of the series and could not have their families staying with them.
They were tested regularly, and visiting teams had to quarantine for several days before they could move to the international venues.
They were also required to maintain social distancing rules.
England are scheduled to tour South Africa for white-ball matches next month, with tours of Sri Lanka and India to follow in early 2021.
Morgan expects players will have to pull out of international tours in the future because of the pressures.
"We've spoken about this as a team and we've accepted that guys will come in and out of the bubble as they feel it is affecting their mental health," said Morgan, speaking at a Chance to Shine event.
"I don't think people should look down on it and they shouldn't feel like people aren't doing their job or not committing to their country.

Fernando Gaviria is the fourth rider to test positive for coronavirus at this year's Giro
UAE Team Emirates rider Fernando Gaviria has tested positive for coronavirus for a second time this year and is out of the Giro d'Italia.
The Colombian tested positive in the Giro's latest round of testing, as did a Team AG2R La Mondiale staff member.
Gaviria also tested positive for Covid-19 at the UAE Tour in February.
He is the fourth rider to test positive at the Giro and did not start Tuesday's 16th stage - therefore ruling him out of the remainder of the race.
His team said he was "immediately isolated" following the test result and is "completely asymptomatic".
"All other riders and staff returned a negative test, and will undergo further testing today," a UAE Team Emirates statement added.
"The team's medical staff are monitoring the situation closely and doing all they can to ensure the we can proceed safely."
Two teams - Mitchelton-Scott and Jumbo-Visma - have already withdrawn from the three-week race because of positive cases in their camps.
Last week, one team called for it to end a week early, citing a "clearly compromised" coronavirus bubble.
EF Pro Cycling said on Sunday they wanted the race to end to avoid "a chaotic withdrawal on a team-by-team basis".
The UCI refused their demand, saying race organisers have "committed to implementing the measures to secure the race bubble".
Slovenia's Jan Tratnik of Bahrain-McLaren took stage 16 by seven seconds from NTT Pro Cycling's Australian rider Ben O'Connor.
Ineos Grenadiers' British rider Ben Swift was in a group of three following a minute behind during the 229km route from Udine to San Daniele del Friuli.
Portugal's Joao Almeida of Deceuninck-Quick-Step remains in the pink jersey with a 17-second lead over Team Sunweb's Wilco Kelderman, with British Ineos rider Tao Geoghegan Hart still in fourth, two minutes and 59 seconds behind the leader. There are five stages remaining.

Analysis
BBC Sport's Matt Warwick
Giro organisers had breathed a sign of relief last week after the whole peloton and staff retested negative days after three riders and two teams left the race after contracting Covid-19.
While a further two positive tests might not seem too alarming, this is Gavaria's second positive after he was one of the first riders to get coronavirus back in February - prompting a season shut-down until August.
The Colombian's form has been poor at a race where he won four stages in 2017. During stage 11, in which Frenchman Araud Demare emulated that feat himself, Gavaria got into position to race and almost immediately sat up on his bike and let his rivals tear away in front of him, displaying an at-the-time perplexing level of lethargy.
The 26-year-old's UAE-Team Emirates squad - who won the Tour de France in September - must now decide if it's worth risking staying at the race at all after seeing one of their best athletes test positive for a second time.
After all, they, and all the other World Tour teams, have another Grand Tour to worry about, as the Vuelta a Espana gets under way on Tuesday - so far, say their organisers, under a clean bill of health.

`` It was pandemonium and they kept on shooting and shooting at us .
It lasted for about an hour @ @ @ @ @ soldiers were actually taking up the dead bodies . ''

End Sars protests: People 'shot dead' in Lagos, Nigeria Published 21 October 2020

A number of people have reportedly been shot dead or wounded at a protest against police brutality in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos.
Witnesses and the rights group Amnesty International said several people were killed and wounded when soldiers opened fire.
The state governor said about 25 people had been wounded but only one person had died.
An indefinite 24-hour curfew has been imposed on Lagos and other regions.
Protests over a now-disbanded police unit - the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars) - have been taking place for two weeks, with demonstrators using the social media hashtag #EndSars to rally crowds.
As tensions continued to rise on Wednesday, police in different districts of Lagos fired shots in the air to disperse people defying the curfew, the BBC's Nduka Orjinmo reports from the capital, Abuja.
Protesters who briefly gathered again at the Lekki toll gate - where Tuesday's shootings took place - were forced out by police, he adds.
President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed for "understanding and calm".
Image source, Reuters Image caption, Smoke rose above buildings in Lagos on Wednesday
However, plumes of smoke could be seen above Lagos on Wednesday.
A reporter for AFP news agency said several buildings were in flames around the Lekki area. A bus station was reported to be on fire in another district while a major TV station - linked to one of the governing party's top politicians - was reportedly set alight by people throwing petrol bombs.
The headquarters of the Nigerian Ports Authority was also set on fire, local media said.
What do we know about the shooting?
Witnesses spoke of uniformed men opening fire in the wealthy Lekki suburb on Tuesday evening.
Soldiers were seen barricading the protest site moments before the shooting, BBC Nigeria correspondent Mayeni Jones reports.
Social media footage streamed live from the scene shows protesters tending to the wounded.
Image source, Reuters Image caption, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu visited injured people in hospital on Wednesday
An unnamed witness told BBC News that shortly before 19:00 local time soldiers "pulled up... and they started firing directly" at peaceful protesters.
"They were firing and they were advancing straight at us. It was chaos. Somebody got hit straight beside me and he died on the spot," he said.
Four witnesses told Reuters news agency that soldiers had opened fire on demonstrators. One of them, Alfred Ononugbo, 55, said: "They were firing into the crowd. I saw the bullet hit one or two persons."
The Premium Times newspaper quoted witnesses as saying about 12 people had been killed.
In a tweet, Amnesty International Nigeria said it had "received credible but disturbing evidence of excessive use of force occasioning deaths of protesters at Lekki toll gate in Lagos".
How have the authorities reacted?
In a statement on Wednesday, President Buhari did not directly refer to the shootings, but called on people to have patience as police reforms "gather pace".
A statement issued by his office said the dissolution of the Sars was "the first step in a set of reform policies that will deliver a police system accountable to the Nigerian people".
"The presidency wishes to reiterate the full commitment of the Buhari administration to the implementation of lasting police reforms in Nigeria," it added.

The army has not issued a statement on events in Lekki, but in several Twitter posts it described media reports as "fake news".
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who visited hospitals on Wednesday, said about 25 people had been wounded in what he described as an "unfortunate shooting incident".
He initially said no-one had been killed but later said one person had died in hospital due to "blunt force trauma to the head".
Contradicting the army, he told the BBC's Newshour programme that the military had been at the scene at the time of the shooting despite public assurances that soldiers would not be deployed until after the start of a curfew at 21:00.
"I think about seven o'clock or thereabouts there was a small unit of the military that went [to Lekki] and we heard that gunshots were fired," he said.
What other reaction has there been?
And former US Vice-President Joe Biden - who is standing against President Donald Trump in next month's election - also urged authorities to end the "violent crackdown on protesters".
"The US must stand with Nigerians who are peacefully demonstrating for police reform and seeking an end to corruption in their democracy," he said in a statement.
Nigerian footballer Odion Jude Ighalo, who plays for Manchester United, accused the Nigerian government of killing its own citizens. "I'm ashamed of this government," he said in a video posted on Twitter.
Nigeria reacts to harrowing scenes
Analysis by Mayeni Jones, BBC Nigeria Correspondent
It was a bleak night in Nigeria as social media footage from the shooting poured in, showing gunshots ringing out at the protest site long into the night.
This is not the first time the Nigerian army has been accused of shooting unarmed protesters. There have been reports of violent crackdowns on EndSars protesters in other parts of the country.
But seeing live rounds used at one of the protest sites that had been peaceful until last night has rattled many. Just last week I stood at the very site of the shooting.
The protesters were peaceful, organised, hopeful for the future of their country. But this is no more.
Harrowing social media videos showing protesters singing the national anthem as shots ring out in the background have caused outrage.
Multiple online accounts say the CCTV and lights were taken out at the toll gate where the protest took place before troops started advancing, leading to total chaos.
These details are galvanising a generation already disillusioned with the ruling class. The Nigerian government is running out of time to quell the growing dissatisfaction.
How did the unrest begin?
Protests began nearly two weeks ago with calls for the Sars police unit, which had been accused of illegal detentions, assaults and shootings, to be disbanded.
President Buhari dissolved the unit on 11 October.
But the demonstrators called for more changes in the security forces as well as reforms to the way the country is run.
Mr Sanwo-Olu has said that criminals have hijacked the protests.

Lionel Messi (who has 116 Champions League goals) congratulates Pedri (who now has one)
Lionel Messi scored in a joint record 16th Champions League season and 17-year-old Pedri netted his first senior goal as Barcelona beat Ferencvaros.

bbc--2020-10-20--Late Rashford goal earns Man Utd win at PSG

Last updated on .From the section European Football Marcus Rashford repeated his late heroics against Paris St-Germain with a superb winner as Manchester United marked their return to the Champions League with a fine win at the home of last season 's beaten finalists .
The visitors had excelled in a first half which saw Bruno Fernandes stroke them ahead with a twice-taken penalty .
But the multiple French champions were far stronger and threatening in the second half and deservedly drew level when United striker Anthony Martial headed into his own net .
David de Gea had to put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goal , making strong saves to deny PSG 's superstar duo Kylian Mbappe and Neymar .
And the sides looked set to share the points when Rashford collected a pass from substitute Paul Pogba , rolled away from a defender and fired in off the base of the post from 20 yards .
• None Reaction to all of Tuesday 's Champions League action • None Quiz : Name the teams in the group stage Rashford 's penalty completed a stunning comeback in 2019 which all but cemented the case for Solskjaer 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turning a delighted Rio Ferdinand - the former United defender turned BT Sport pundit - into a meme in the process .
Solskjaer has not been able to maintain that blistering success since becoming full-time manager , but once again the Norwegian was able to conjure a victory against the odds .
Without captain Harry Maguire and midfielder Pogba , United played a back five - with defender Axel Tuanzebe being summoned from the wilderness and shining on his first appearance of 2020 .
Twice the 22-year-old kept stride with the rapid Mbappe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ display .
At the other end , United 's opener came from a more familiar route - Fernandes converting a penalty after Martial was tripped .
It was , remarkably , the 27th spot-kick awarded to United since the start of last season .
Fernandes , the captain on the night , actually missed for the second time in three days , but Keylor Navas was clearly off his line before the save and the video assistant referee called it back .
Fernandes went the same way ; the goalkeeper went the other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old selves after the break and United had to defend well - but Rashford was guilty of wasting a couple of chances on the counter-attack before his brilliant late winner .
The rebuilding of Paris St-Germain has long been aimed solely at European glory - with domestic monopoly tied up years ago - and the run to the final just 58 days ago looked like a key juncture .
Thomas Tuchel 's side is packed with blistering talent , but question marks over their consistency have long been raised and this was another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far too slowly in the first half and deserved to find themselves behind , even if De Gea was called into a double save from Angel di Maria and Layvin Kurzawa .
Tuchel moved Di Maria deeper at half-time , sending on Everton loanee Moise Kean up front , and his side were better .
De Gea again made a flying save to deny Mbappe after a typically brilliant run , and Kurzawa hit the crossbar with a miscued cross .
Martial gave them a route back into the match when he nodded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ net , but United improved when Pogba came on .
With RB Leipzig - semi-finalists last season - up and running with a win , it is now Tuchel 's side who need to click into gear fast just to make it out of Group H. • None Paris St-Germain suffered a home defeat in a Champions League group game for the first time in 25 games , since losing 1-3 to CSKA Moscow in December 2004 .

PSG 1-2 Man Utd: Scott McTominay played first half with one eye - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Marcus Rashford repeated his late heroics against Paris St-Germain with a superb winner as Manchester United marked their return to the Champions League with a fine win at the home of last season's beaten finalists.
Rashford's stoppage-time penalty sealed a famous victory at the Parc des Princes 18 months ago and the England striker was again on target to ensure Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side took maximum points from their opening match in a formidable group.
The visitors had excelled in a first half which saw Bruno Fernandes stroke them ahead with a twice-taken penalty.
But the multiple French champions were far stronger and threatening in the second half and deservedly drew level when United striker Anthony Martial headed into his own net.
David de Gea had to put in a much-improved display in United's goal, making strong saves to deny PSG's superstar duo Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
And the sides looked set to share the points when Rashford collected a pass from substitute Paul Pogba, rolled away from a defender and fired in off the base of the post from 20 yards.
Solskjaer finds a way
Rashford's penalty completed a stunning comeback in 2019 which all but cemented the case for Solskjaer's temporary reign to be made permanent, turning a delighted Rio Ferdinand - the former United defender turned BT Sport pundit - into a meme in the process.
Solskjaer has not been able to maintain that blistering success since becoming full-time manager, but once again the Norwegian was able to conjure a victory against the odds.
Without captain Harry Maguire and midfielder Pogba, United played a back five - with defender Axel Tuanzebe being summoned from the wilderness and shining on his first appearance of 2020.
Twice the 22-year-old kept stride with the rapid Mbappe and made fine challenges in an impressive display.
At the other end, United's opener came from a more familiar route - Fernandes converting a penalty after Martial was tripped. It was, remarkably, the 27th spot-kick awarded to United since the start of last season.
Fernandes, the captain on the night, actually missed for the second time in three days, but Keylor Navas was clearly off his line before the save and the video assistant referee called it back. Fernandes went the same way; the goalkeeper went the other.
PSG looked far more like their old selves after the break and United had to defend well - but Rashford was guilty of wasting a couple of chances on the counter-attack before his brilliant late winner.
Same old PSG?
The rebuilding of Paris St-Germain has long been aimed solely at European glory - with domestic monopoly tied up years ago - and the run to the final just 58 days ago looked like a key juncture.
Thomas Tuchel's side is packed with blistering talent, but question marks over their consistency have long been raised and this was another frustrating display.
They moved the ball far too slowly in the first half and deserved to find themselves behind, even if De Gea was called into a double save from Angel di Maria and Layvin Kurzawa.
Tuchel moved Di Maria deeper at half-time, sending on Everton loanee Moise Kean up front, and his side were better. De Gea again made a flying save to deny Mbappe after a typically brilliant run, and Kurzawa hit the crossbar with a miscued cross.
Martial gave them a route back into the match when he nodded Neymar's inswinging corner into his own net, but United improved when Pogba came on.
With RB Leipzig - semi-finalists last season - up and running with a win, it is now Tuchel's side who need to click into gear fast just to make it out of Group H.
A 16-year wait - the stats
Paris St-Germain suffered a home defeat in a Champions League group game for the first time in 25 games, since losing 1-3 to CSKA Moscow in December 2004.
Manchester United have scored nine own goals in the Champions League, more than any other side.
Since the start of last season, United have been awarded 27 penalties and scored 22 of them, both highs among sides in Europe's big five leagues (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) in that time.
Since his debut for Manchester United in February, Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in more goals than any other Premier League player (27 - 16 goals, 11 assists).
Fernandes has scored 11 of his 12 penalties for United, more than any other player from Europe's big five leagues in that time.
Anthony Martial is the second French player to score an own goal in the Champions League against French opposition, after Jeremy Mathieu for Barcelona, also against Paris St-Germain, in April 2015.
PSG's Neymar has failed to score in four consecutive Champions League appearances for the first time since November 2013 (his first five games in the competition).

Jordan Pickford's tackle on Virgil van Dijk went unpunished
The tackle by Everton keeper Jordan Pickford which left Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk needing knee surgery was "completely stupid", says Reds midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
Van Dijk suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the challenge - which went unpunished - and is set to miss at least most of this season.
Wijnaldum said "none of the players slept" after what happened on Saturday.
Manager Jurgen Klopp said his feelings were "similar to my players".
What happened in the Merseyside derby?
'Van Dijk will be a massive miss' - do Liverpool have enough cover?
Fabinho looped a cross to the far post which Van Dijk was about to try to control when Pickford came flying out feet-first and trapped the defender's right leg in a scissor-like movement. Van Dijk was immediately in pain.
As the 29-year-old Netherlands centre-back was being treated, the video assistant referee (VAR) noted it was checking for a "possible penalty". In the end, it could not have been a penalty because Van Dijk was offside. Referee Michael Oliver gave a free-kick to Everton, Van Dijk left the pitch and the game carried on.
Pickford did not face retrospective action because the Football Association determined the incident was seen at the time having consulted with the match officials, including VAR.
Late on in the game, which finished 2-2, Toffees forward Richarlison was sent off for a high tackle on Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara.
Wijnaldum, who is also a team-mate of Van Dijk for the Netherlands, said: "Of course we are upset. The way Pickford went in was completely stupid.
"I believe he did not want to injure Virgil the way he injured him.
"In my opinion, they take it too far in the games we play against them. Everyone wants to win the derby, sometimes you go a little over the top, but it was too much - not only his tackle, Richarlison on Thiago was also a nasty one.
"Accidents can happen in football. You can be unlucky and injure someone - but the way they were doing it was completely unacceptable.
"It makes it harder as they do not get punished, in this case Pickford."
'Something happened which should not happen'
As well as being without Van Dijk and Thiago for their Champions League opener against Ajax on Wednesday (20:00 BST kick-off), Liverpool have further selection issues at the back, with defender Joel Matip also missing the trip to Amsterdam.
Midfielder Fabinho should fill in in central defence alongside Joe Gomez, with youngsters Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams included in the squad.
Speaking about Van Dijk's injury, Klopp said in a news conference on Tuesday: "We are still sensitive with the situation, which you are not.
"The first question you ask is: 'What are you doing in the transfer market?' Our vice-captain and the best centre-half in the world is not playing for a long time. We will see how long and we work for solutions for now.
"A couple of days ago, something happened which should not have happened in a football game. It did not happen for the first time and not the last, and I see it similar to my players.
"Both challenges were difficult to accept, let me say it like that.
"Virgil is our boy, a world-class player and we will miss him. Injuries happen in football, but when two players try to challenge for the ball."
Liverpool are refusing to specify how long Van Dijk will be out for until after his operation, which is yet to be arranged.
The Dutchman has been a key figure for the Reds since signing from Southampton for £75m in January 2018.
He played every Premier League game for the club in the past two seasons as Liverpool finished second in 2018-19 before winning their first top-flight title in 30 years in 2019-20.
Klopp added: "In this game, a few things happened together. The referee Michael Oliver, who is an excellent referee usually, did not see it. I don't understand why he did not see it. The VAR forgets the rules.
"It is not that I want players punished, but it is something we agree on. If you do something wrong you have to deal with the consequences.

Chelsea had four attempts at goal in the opening 14 minutes of the second half, double their tally from the first half
Edouard Mendy has established himself as Chelsea's first-choice goalkeeper after again "showing his quality" in his side's goalless Champions League draw with Sevilla, says boss Frank Lampard.
Mendy, who joined from Rennes in September, produced an excellent save to help the Blues open their European campaign with a hard-earned point against Europa League holders Sevilla.
In a game of few clear-cut chances, the Senegal international marked his return from injury by clawing away Nemanja Gudelj's header after it had flicked off Kurt Zouma.
It was a pivotal moment of the game and Lampard praised his recent signing, who was brought in to strengthen his options following the erratic form of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Chelsea's £71m signing from Athletic Bilbao.
Asked if Mendy is already Chelsea's number one, Lampard said: "At the moment, yes. He's shown his quality.
"The way he's played, he's played very well, that's two clean sheets for him already.
"As it stands he is the number one but that's always up for grabs. But the way he's playing I'm very happy."

Positives for Lampard despite draw
Chelsea have started this season with a flurry of goals at one end of the pitch - and defensive implosions at the other.
While they failed to score for only the second time in eight games this season, Lampard's side at least managed a clean sheet after a much-improved performance at the back.
Fifty-eight days after appearing in the final for Paris St-Germain, Thiago Silva returned to the Champions League stage as Lampard shuffled his defence after conceding three against Southampton last Saturday.
Reece James also marked his return with a solid display on a night Lampard became only the second Englishman to manage in two Champions League campaigns, after Sir Bobby Robson.
"The clean sheet was a big deal for us," added Lampard.
"Seville are a top team in European football. The concentration and focus to get the result was big from the team.
"We made a lot of good decisions, so it's a really nice place for us to build from."

Petr Cech retired after Arsenal's Europa League final defeat by Chelsea in 2019
Goalkeeper Petr Cech has been named in Chelsea's Premier League squad - despite having retired from playing at the end of the 2018-19 season.
The 38-year-old, who is the club's technical and performance adviser, was added as "emergency cover".
Elsewhere, midfielder Mesut Ozil has been left out of Arsenal's 25-man post-transfer window squad.
Manchester United have not included defender Phil Jones and goalkeeper Sergio Romero in their list.
English centre-back Jones, 28, last played for United in an FA Cup win over Tranmere Rovers in January, while 33-year-old Argentine Romero - who was linked with a move to Everton on transfer deadline day - has moved down the pecking order following the return of England international Dean Henderson from Sheffield United.
Clubs had to name a 25-man squad after the closure of both the international and domestic transfer windows.
'It is a no-brainer to have Cech in the squad'
Cech spent 11 years as a player at Stamford Bridge, winning 13 trophies, including four Premier League titles and the Champions League.
He last played for the Blues in the 3-1 win over Sunderland in May 2015, before joining London rivals Arsenal.
The former Czech Republic international then returned to Chelsea in the summer of 2019 to take up his new role and has recently been helping with the goalkeeping coaching. external-link
"It's definitely not done for the romance. Pete enjoys the training, that's how he is," said Blues manager Frank Lampard.
"With Pete, it's something I wouldn't expect to happen, but with how fit he is if we were in crisis we couldn't have anyone better than Petr Cech around.
"I don't expect him to play, but nobody expected what's happened in the last six or seven months, so that would explain why he's in there.
"We had a space this year, and Covid makes this a year like no other. He's very fit, he's still relatively young, and he finished playing when he possibly could have carried on.
"It's a total no-brainer to have him in the squad."
Cech is one of four goalkeepers in Chelsea's squad. Spaniard Kepa Arrizabalaga, the world's most expensive keeper, has endured indifferent form since the restart of the previous season, while new signing Edouard Mendy made his return from injury against Sevilla on Tuesday.
Willy Caballero, 39, has twice played for the Blues this season and is usually selected in the domestic cup competitions.
Mesut Ozil is Arsenal's highest-paid player
Ozil, 32, who joined Arsenal for a then club record £42.4m in 2013, has not played for the Gunners since 7 March.
The German, who had also been left out of their Europa League squad, will now only be able to play for Arsenal Under-23s until his deal expires in summer 2021.
Greece defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos was also omitted.
