Graham Potter makes three changes to his Chelsea XI for Wednesday's Champions League encounter with Borussia Dortmund.

Graham Potter has made three changes to his Chelsea XI for Wednesday's Champions League fixture against Borussia Dortmund, the first leg of their last-16 tie being staged at Westfalenstadion.

With Benoit Badiashile and Noni Madueke ineligible, the Englishman always faced the prospect of making two alterations to the side which started versus West Ham United at the weekend.

Kalidou Koulibaly and Hakim Ziyech have been drafted into the team in their places, while Ben Chilwell is also handed his first start since before the World Cup break at left-back, replacing Marc Cucurella.

However, the rest of the starting lineup has remained the same, Ruben Loftus-Cheek keeping his spot in central midfield despite Mateo Kovacic and Denis Zakaria being available again after injury.

Wesley Fofana is another notable inclusion on the substitutes' bench, the Frenchman making his first appearance in the squad since sustaining a knee injury in October.

Trevoh Chalobah, Conor Gallagher and Mason Mount - a trio of players who would have felt in contention for a start - are all kept in reserve.

Borussia Dortmund: Kobel; Wolf, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Can, Ozcan, Bellingham; Brandt, Adeyemi; Haller

Subs: Meyer, Reyna, Dahoud, Reus, Hummels, Modeste, Malen, Meunier, Ryerson, Rothe, Bynoe-Gittens, Coulibaly

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga; James, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly, Chilwell; Loftus-Cheek, Fernandez; Ziyech, Felix, Mudryk; Havertz

Subs: Bettinelli, Bergstrom, Kovacic, Chalobah, Mount, Zakaria, Gallagher, Azpilicueta, Chukwuemeka, Cucurella, Fofana, Hall
