Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Real Madrid

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Real Madrid.

Chelsea will be aiming to pull off an incredible Champions League comeback when they face Real Madrid in the second leg of their quarter-final tie on Tuesday night.

Thomas Tuchel's side saw the defence of their crown left in tatters after a 3-1 loss in the first leg at Stamford Bridge, with Karim Benzema netting another delightful hat-trick on the night.

However, the Blues responded in perfect fashion during Saturday's Premier League meeting with Southampton - hitting Ralph Hasenhuttl's lacklustre side for six without reply.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg.


Ben Chilwell

Possible return date: Unknown

Ben Chilwell remains in the treatment room as he works his way back from knee surgery, and the left-back is highly unlikely to play again this season.


Callum Hudson-Odoi

Callum Hudson-Odoi has suffered a setback in his recovery from an Achilles issue, and Tuchel recently conceded that it will be "a matter of weeks" before the Englishman can be considered for selection again.
