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

Chelsea will face La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash on Tuesday evening, with the fixture taking place in Romania due to coronavirus restrictions.

The Blues will enter the European contest off the back of a 1-1 draw with Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, which stretched their unbeaten run under new head coach Thomas Tuchel to seven matches.
