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

Chelsea will head to Bernabeu on Wednesday evening for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with the holders Real Madrid.

The Blues, who have re-appointed Frank Lampard as interim head coach, knocked Borussia Dortmund out in the last-16 stage of the European Cup.

However, the London giants will enter this game off the back of a four-game winless run, which includes a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.
