Tomorrow night brings the second leg, with the Blues leading 2-0. But it is only half time, and Thomas Tuchel’s side have a long way to go yet to advance to the semi finals.
The German has been addressing the media ahead of the big game tomorrow as he and his side have just landed in Seville to play on neutral ground.
Tuchel was of course asked about any early team news and potential injuries or missing players, and he has delivered some news on this below.
Chelsea will be hoping that tomorrow night goes to plan and they can hit the dizzy heights of the semi finals of Europe’s most prestigious domestic competition.
Andreas Christensen has been named in the squad after missing the Palace match with an injury…
N’Golo Kante is fit again and Tuchel said he will decide whether he starts or plays from the bench after he sees him in training tomorrow.
"Kante lost a bit of sleep with the traveling and work load in training, he can't train like he would usually. When I see him tomorrow in training I will make a decision and how the midfielders are. We have to be careful and not take risks with him [Kante]."
– Thomas Tuchel
