Chelsea to host Shakhtar's Champions League home games amid ongoing exile

Shakhtar Donetsk will play their Champions League home games at Stamford Bridge this season after coming to an agreement with Chelsea to host their European matches while they remain in exile from their Donbas Arena home.

The Ukrainian side had been looking for a new temporary base for their continental games and had been linked with holding them at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium, but will instead travel several miles towards central London to Chelsea's 40,044-capacity home.
