Following an enthralling and rain-soaked first leg in the Spanish capital, Chelsea set to welcome Real Madrid to Stamford for their UEFA Champions second leg semi-final today.
The Blues top-four
destiny is firmly in their own hands with only four games of the domestic
league left to play, and a third placed-finish is not beyond the realm of
possibility either, but the 13 times Champions league winners would go a long
way to securing Tuchel’s long-term future in Chelsea hotseat.
Azpilicueta was given the day off against Fulhan so should displace
Reece James at right-wing back, while surprise starter Billy Gilmour will
occupy a spot on the bench as Jorginho and Kante return to action today.
According to Tuchel’s press conferences yesterday, Meteo Kovacic is out
from the squad, after he suffered a small setback in his recovery from a thigh
issue, but mount is expected to be fit despite a minor injury against Fulham.
While Rudiger is also available for this one.
