Chelsea will be without both Kalidou Koulibaly and Ben Chilwell for the visit from Real Madrid on Tuesday night.
Chelsea: Team News
Chelsea have it all to do in their second leg encounter with Real Madrid this week, following their 2-0 loss at the Bernabeu a week ago.
They’ll have to do it without Kalidou Koulibaly, however, with the centre back picking up an injury in the first leg. He joins Ben Chilwell on the sidelines, with the left back missing this game through suspension after picking up a red card in Madrid.
Frank Lampard is likely to bring N’Golo Kante and Thiago Silva back into the starting eleven after managing their game time in the defeat to Brighton on Saturday. There is also likely to be a return of Joao Felix, with Kai Havertz facing a late fitness test to determine his availability.
Chelsea: Predicted Lineup
Chelsea Predicted XI: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Thiago Silva, Marc Cucurella, N’Golo Kante, Enzo Fernandez, Mateo Kovacic, Raheem Sterling, Kai Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk
