Chelsea have made a sluggish start to their Conference League last-16 tie against FC Copenhagen. The Blues have a perfect record in the competition so far this season but it is goalless after an uneventful opening 45 minutes in Denmark, in which Enzo Maresca’s side failed to register a single shot on target and lost Malo Gusto to injury.

After topping the Europa Conference League league phase table, Chelsea begin their knockout stage journey with a visit to Danish club FC Copenhagen in the first leg of their Round of 16 matchup.
