Chelsea will aim to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they face Lille in the second leg of their last-16 tie at the Stade Pierre Mauroy on Wednesday evening.
Thomas Tuchel's side arrive on the French champions' turf boasting a 2-0 lead from the first leg, with Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic on target for the Blues.
Havertz was also the hero of the hour for the Champions League holders in the weekend's Premier League action, with his strike sinking an inspired Newcastle United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg.
