The UEFA Champions League plan that could heavily impact Frank Lampard and his Chelsea players

Chelsea could be set to conclude their Champions League campaign in Lisbon, with reports suggesting the competition could resume with a mini-tournament in August.

The competition was brought to a halt by the coronavirus pandemic back in March, with four last-16 ties still yet to be decided, including the Blues' encounter with Bayern Munich, which sees Frank Lampard's side 3-0 down after the first-leg at Stamford Bridge.

The final was originally scheduled to be held in Istanbul on May 30 before the competition was suspended indefinitely in April.

UEFA had been previously understood to be considering playing the remaining 17 fixtures in the campaign behind closed doors, following suit from the likes of the Bundesliga and Premier League, which is set to get back underway on June 17.

Turkish authorities are struggling to pay for the event without fans though, and German publication Bild claim UEFA are now looking at Lisbon as a host city for the remaining fixtures.

European football’s governing body are reportedly hoping to resume the Champions League and Europa League knockout stages on August 7.

Games are mooted to be played twice a week, with the semi-finals taking place between August 18 and 22 before the final is hosted on August 29.

It is expected the next Champions League season would then start in September after a short break.

The Premier League has two teams still remaining in this season’s competition, with Chelsea and Manchester City yet to play the second legs of their last-16 ties.

Defending champions Liverpool and 2019 finalists Tottenham Hotspur were knocked out by Atletico Madrid and RB Leipzig respectively before the pandemic brought football across Europe to a halt.

Chelsea's fate looks to be sealed after falling to a 3-0 defeat at home to Bayern in the first leg, while City hold a 2-1 lead over Real Madrid following victory at the Bernabeu.

PSG and Atalanta have already secured their place in the quarter-finals along with Atletico and Leipzig, while Lyon’s tie with Juventus and Napoli’s encounter with Barcelona remain undecided.
