Chelsea will try to register their first win in the Uefa Champions League (UEFA) group stages tonight, when they take on AC Milan.
The blues, who lost their opening match to Dinamo Zagreb and played a stalemate with Salzburg, will try to replenish their form when they play Rossoneri, who is in a difficult position after the recent international break.
The Italian giant’s key players picked injuries, with the likes of Mike Maignan, Simon Kjaer, Theo Hernandez, Davide Calabria, Alessandro Florenzi, Alexis Saelemaekers, Divock Origi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, likely not to play against the blues.
Milan injuries will probably boost Graham Potter’s confidence, as most stars like Edouard Mendy, Marc Cucurella and N’Golo Kante have all returned to squad training yesterday.
The Blues currently sit bottom of Group E with one point, making tonight’s game key if they want to retain any hope of progressing to the knock-out stages.
Below are probable line-ups for the Champions League clash between Chelsea and Milan.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Mendy; James, Fofana, Thiago Silva, Chilwell; Jorginho, Kovacic; Pulisic, Mount, Sterling; Aubameyang.
Milan (4-2-3-1): Tatarusanu; Dest, Kalulu, Tomori, Ballo Toure; Tonali, Bennacer; Krunic, De Ketelaere, Leao; Giroud.
