Atletico Madrid v Chelsea
- Thomas Lemar and Moussa Dembele returned to first team duties in the 2-0 defeat to Levante after a spell out due to COVID-19, though Hector Herrera is likely to miss the first leg after testing positive for Coronavirus earlier this month.
- Saul Niguez and Stefan Savic missed the loss through suspension, so their availability is a boost, particularly in the absence of Jose Gimenez after he sustained a recurrence of a muscle problem at the weekend.
- Kieran Trippier is suspended, which is a blow for the home side, who should continue with a three-man backline.
- Yannick Carrasco and Sime Vrsaljko are also both missing for Diego Simeone’s side on Tuesday.
- Chelsea have confirmed Thiago Silva will not be in their squad for the first leg but Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic will.
- Thomas Tuchel is expected to make a couple of changes from the side that started the stalemate against Southampton.
- Jorginho, Andreas Christensen and Callum Hudson-Odoi all started from the bench on the south coast and should return, though the latter came on at the break for Tammy Abraham before he was taken off with 15 minutes to play.
