Joao Felix was one of Chelsea’s first signing of the January transfer window, which saw The Blues spend upwards of €300m. The Portuguese joined on loan from Atletico Madrid until the end of the season, having expressed his desire to leave Los Rojiblancos.
Benoit Badiashile, Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and Enzo Fernandez all also joined Chelsea last month, as the Premier League giants look to improve on their disappointing first half of the season. They are well off the pace in the league, so the Champions League represents their only realistic opportunity of a trophy this season. With their newly added firepower, they are expected to be one of the favourites to take Real Madrid’s crown from last season.
However, competition rules state that only three players can be added to Chelsea’s squad from the group stages. With five first team players being signed in January, two will miss out on playing in Europe’s most prestigious competition this season.
Mudryk and Fernandez are expected to be two of the names included, meaning that the final place will be contended for by Felix, Madueke and Badiashile. One of the selling for Felix leaving Atleti for Chelsea was the opportunity to play Champions League football, but he may not get the chance.

You guys are wrong, Chelsea can get in atleast 4 playes in in total not just 3. Also considering Jorginho leaving, the numbers goes up to 5. - They are allowed to add only 3players after January window but chelsea had 24/25 players registered in list A. Which means they still can add 1 more player to that list A to make it 25/25. - And they can also take out people from the existing list A. Such as long term injured Fofana and Pulisic. - So yes they can get in up to 5 players from the new signings should they want to.
