Wesley Fofana - Assists in return Fofana assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 5-1 win versus Ajax.

Impact Fofana, who had been out for a month due to an undisclosed injury, returned to the pitch Wednesday. He marked his return with an assist on Marc Guin's opener in the 18th minute, his first goal contribution of the season. On the defensive end he won three duels, intercepted four passes and made two clearances in his full 90 minutes of action.

Jamie Gittens - Assists in dominant win Gittens assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and five chances created in Wednesday's 5-1 victory versus Ajax.

Impact Gittens made his first start in any competition since Sept. 13 and marked the occasion with an assist on Moises Caicedo's goal in the 27th minute. He also created five chances and recorded five crosses, a burst in production that can be explained by Kenneth Taylor's red card in the 17th minute. He played the full 90 minutes for the first time this season.

Enzo Fernandez - Scores penalty Wednesday Fernandez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 5-1 victory against Ajax.

Impact Fernandez returned to the pitch Wednesday after missing Saturday's Premier League match with a knee injury. He played well in his return and converted a penalty in the 45th minute, his first Champions League goal of the season. It was the only shot he took in the match and he also created two chances. He was subbed off at halftime for Andrey Santos, an unsurprising move considering he was returning from injury and his side was already up 4-1 at home.

Moises Caicedo - Scores in Wednesday's win Caicedo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 5-1 win versus Ajax.

Impact Caicedo scored his first Champions League goal of the season Wednesday, an outside the box strike in the 27th minute assisted by Jamie Gittens. He now has four goals in all competitions this season, already matching his total from the last three seasons combined. It's unclear if this goalscoring increase is an anomaly or if this is just an expanded part of his game. If it's the latter, that combined with his defensive contributions makes him a valuable asset.

Tyrique George - Scores first UCL goal George scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 5-1 win against Ajax.

Impact George scored his first career Champions League goal, a strike in the 48th minute assisted by Andrey Santos which took the 5-1 lead. It came just after he subbed onto the pitch at halftime for Marc Guiu. He was productive in that one half of play with his opponents down a man as he also created three chances and recorded three crosses on the attack.

Filip Jorgensen - Concedes once in win Jorgensen had no saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Ajax.

Impact Jorgensen made his first Champions League start of the season Saturday and he conceded one goal, a Wout Weghorst penalty in the 33rd minute. That was the only shot on target he faced in the match as Ajax's Kenneth Taylor was shown a straight red card in the 17th minute, so Chelsea's attack dominated. Jorgensen will likely go back to the bench in favor of Robert Sanchez for the next two Premier League matches, but he could start again on Nov. 5 at Qarabag in the UCL.
