Chelsea have announced that their Europa League quarter-final second leg against Rubin Kazan has been moved to the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.

The West London outfit were due to go up against the Russian outfit in Kazan, but a decision to move has been made following a pitch inspection.

A statement on the Blues' official website said: "UEFA are of the opinion the pitch and climate conditions at the Tsentrainiy Stadium, Rubin Kazan's home ground, cannot guarantee the best possible conditions."
