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

Chelsea will be looking to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they take on Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their last-16 tie on Wednesday night.

The Blues will enter the clash at Stamford Bridge with a slight advantage, having recorded a 1-0 victory in the first leg between the two sides last month.

The capital giants are still unbeaten under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel but were held to a goalless draw by Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
