A look at the early injury news surrounding Chelsea and PSG ahead of their Champions League second leg.
Chelsea are back in Champions League action on Tuesday night, and they need a miracle at Stamford Bridge, or at least close to it. The Blues fell apart in Paris, leaving them with a three-goal deficit to current Champions League holders PSG.
It’s going to be a mammoth task to turn things around in West London, but Liam Rosenior’s men must believe if they are going to have any chance of pulling it off. Ahead of the clash, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams.
Fabian Ruiz - Out
Ruiz has been dealing with a knee injury and will likely sit out until fully recovered.
Quentin Ndjantou - Out
Ndjantou is out until early April with a hamstring issue.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens - Doubt
Roseniro said after the Newcastle game: “Jamie was due back on the bench today but felt his hamstring late after training yesterday, so we're just checking up on him.” Given the quick turnaround, the winger will be a big doubt here.
Estevao Willian - Doubt
Rosenior has said: “Estevao is still a little bit further away. We want to be careful because of the nature of his hamstring injury. The last thing we want to do is rush him back... So, we will see what he's like for Tuesday's game against PSG.”
Levi Colwill - Out
In his latest update, Rosenior has said: “If you look at our squad now, Levi is back in modified training.” The defender is on course to return this season, but it won’t be yet.
Mykhailo Mudryk - Out (Suspended)
Mudryk is suspended. A club statement in the summer read: “We can confirm that Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with Anti-Doping Rule Violations alleging the presence and/or use of a prohibited substance, in terms of Regulations 3 and 4 of The FA's Anti-Doping Regulations. As this is an ongoing case, we are not in a position to comment further at this time.” Mudryk is not included in the final count due to the nature of his absence.
