Thu Apr 10 15:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Legia Warsaw Faces Tough Chelsea Clash with Limited Striker Options
**WARSAW, POLAND** – Legia Warsaw faces a daunting task in their upcoming UEFA Conference League match against Chelsea, with limited options in the striker position. Head coach Goncalo Feio confirmed that Tomas Pekhart, a 35-year-old who last scored in August, is their only available senior striker for the crucial fixture.
While acknowledging the significant challenge posed by Chelsea, who have won all their Conference League matches to date, Feio expressed optimism. He highlighted the need for Legia to remain true to their playing philosophy and urged his players to seize the opportunity to showcase their abilities against such a prestigious opponent.
The absence of injured strikers Gual and the expensive summer signing, Szkurin (who was ineligible for European competition), further compounds Legia’s attacking woes. Pekhart, despite his experience, has managed only three goals this season. Feio hinted at the possibility of deploying Pekhart alongside another player to compensate for the lack of a dedicated centre-forward.
