Chelsea's new signing Papy Djilobodji has been left out of their Champions League squad.

Djilobodji, 26, who joined on deadline day from Nantes in a £2.7m deal, has been omitted because Chelsea have reached their limit of "non-locally trained players" on their submitted A list.

It clearly shows that Jose Mourinho does not believe Djilobodji will be a central part of Chelsea's plans this season after they missed out on No1 target John Stones.

Uefa rules allow 25 players in the squad but has a restriction of eight places for "club trained" and "association trained" players.

Chelsea have included their major summer signings - Pedro, Radamel Falcao, Asmir Begovic and Baba Rahman - in their squad, but were effectively left to pick two of three players to complete their number.

They picked young forwards Bertrand Traore and Kenedy, who made his debut after his £6.3m move from Fluminense in Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, at Djilobodji's expense.
