Premier League giants Chelsea will take on Portuguese outfit Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League group stage phase as the two teams were drawn on the same group opening the door for a possible Egyptian on Egyptian clash at the European scene.

The UEFA Champions League group stage draw held on Thursday in Monaco gave Chelsea an easy group that includes Schalke of Germany, Sporting Lisbon of Portugal and Slovenian side Maribor.

The Former Arab Contractors winger could play against the former Zamalek forward at the European stage but the Egyptian duo have at first to return to action with their respective teams.

Salah, who joined Chelsea from Swiss outfit Basel, last January, was dropped from Jose Mourinho's squad during the last two games in the Premier League.

Several English reports suggested that Salah could leave Chelsea during this summer transfer window.

On the other hand, Shikabala's future at Sporting remains in doubt as the egyptian winger was also dropped from his team's squad since the start of season and it seems that his mission to reserve a place in his side starting line-up will be very tough after the arrival of Luis Nani from Manchester United.
