Chelsea name Samuel Eto'o and Willian in UEFA Champions League squad - but there's no place for Michael Essien

The veteran striker and Brazilian
winger have both made the cut
as Jose Mourinho prepares for
another tilt at Europe this season
Blues cruise: Willian will be
representing his new club in
Europe
New signings Willian and Samuel
Eto'o have both been included in
the Chelsea squad for the
2013/14 UEFA Champions
League.
The London club have been
handed a relatively kind draw,
with Basel, Schalke and Steaua
Bucharest joining them in Group
E.
Willian, who joined the Blues
from Anzhi Makhachkala for a
fee of around £30million
in August, amassed plenty of
experience in the competition for
Shakhtar Donetsk.
Eto'o, meanwhile, will have fond
memories of winning the
Champions League under
Mourinho for Internazionale.
But there is no place for
experienced midfielder Michael
Essien, who has been deemed
surplus to requirements as
Chelsea look to mount a
continental challenge.
