Enzo Fernandez is set to have a key role for Chelsea against PSG
Chelsea Football Newsletter
Chelsea could face something of a right-back crisis for their Champions League last-16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain tonight.
James is out of the game and could face several weeks on the sidelines with a fresh hamstring injury sustained towards the end of Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle.
Gusto, meanwhile, was unwell on Monday and is a doubt for the PSG game with a final assessment due on the day of the game.
Chelsea are seeking to overturn a 5-2 defeat from their disastrous first leg in Paris.
Estevao has not played since last month’s FA Cup win at Hull City due to a hamstring injury of his own but is now back in training and is expected to be able to take some part in the game, though a start feels unlikely.
Jamie Gittens has been out with a hamstring injury, while Levi Colwill is working his way back from a serious knee injury that means he has not played a single minute this term. Gittens did not train on Monday but Colwill did.

Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen made two high-profile errors in the first leg against PSG but is due to undergo scans on a groin injury so will miss the second leg, with Robert Sanchez to start instead.

Pedro Neto is available after UEFA decided not to hand him a one-match ban for his shove on a ball-boy late on in the first leg at the Parc des Princes.
If James and Gusto are both out of the game, Trevoh Chalobah or Josh Acheampong, centre-backs by trade, will be considered emergency right-back options by head coach Liam Rosenior.
