Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is adamant they'll finish in the European places this season.
Pochettino firmly believes they will again be in Europe next season.
He said, "It is fine for us that we are not playing in Europe this season. We have a small squad at the moment due to injuries.
"However, it is not normal that Chelsea does not play in the Champions League, but we cannot do anything about that now.
"But of course we will play in Europe next season."
