Sonia Bompastor has made four changes to her Chelsea side for our Women’s Champions League clash with Barcelona at Stamford Bridge this evening.
Livia Peng continues in goal in place of the injured Hannah Hampton, while Lucy Bronze and Naomi Girma come into the back line as we look to keep our Catalan opponents at bay under the lights at the Bridge.
Striker Aggie Beever-Jones replaces Catarina Macario up front, while Sandy Baltimore also comes in to the starting XI.
Bompastor confirmed in her pre-match press conference that Sam Kerr would be rested this evening, as she continues her recovery from a long-term injury.
Lauren James is named on the bench for the third consecutive match, following an injury that had kept her out of the side since March.
Chelsea: Peng, Carpenter, Bronze, Bjorn, Girma, Baltimore, Walsh, Cuthbert (c), Kaptein, Thompson, Beever-Jones
Substitutes: Spencer, Bright, Buurman, Nusken, Macario, James, Rytting Kaneryd, Charles, Jean-Francois, Hamano, Potter
