Nemanja Matic has been recalled to the Chelsea XI for tonight's Champions League last-16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain.
The defensive midfielder picked up an ankle injury during his team's League Cup celebrations earlier this month and had been a doubt for the European clash.
Matic has been passed fit, however, and will take his place in the middle of the park. There are also starts for Ramires and Oscar, while leading scorer Diego Costa will be supplemented by the in-form Eden Hazard.
For PSG, both Thiago Motta and Javier Pastore come into the XI, while Marquinhos will seemingly operate at full-back.
Edinson Cavani, who scored in the first leg, which finished 1-1, will again start in a wide position, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic leading the line.
