Chelsea In Tough Group

Ghana's only representatives in the CAF Champions League, Berekum Chelsea, were handed a tough draw in the group stage of the competition where they will face three former champions.

Chelsea, making their debut after winning the domestic league last season, will take on TP Mazembe, Al Ahly and Zamalek in Group B.

The Berekum side, which has the competition's leading scorer, Emmanuel Clottey in their fold with six goals, must overcome tough tests in the last mini-league of the Champions League to inch closer to the semi-finals.

They will be traveling to Congo to meet Mazembe and make a double trip to Egypt where Ahly and Zamalek are based as they have six group matches lined up.

Chelsea will know not to take their opponents lightly after they qualified for the last 8 at the expense of Raja Casablanca and Coton Sport.

In Group A, holders Esperance are joined by fellow Tunisian side Etoile du Sahel, Sunshine Stars and AS Chlef .
