Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Krasnodar

Chelsea face a trip to Russia on Wednesday evening as they continue their Champions League campaign away to FC Krasnodar.

Frank Lampard's side played out a goalless draw with Sevilla in their Group E opener last week and were also held to a stalemate by Manchester United on Saturday.

The Blues have now won just one of their last six outings across all competitions, but will be favourites against Krasnodar for what is only the Russian outfit's second ever match in the Champions League proper.
