Chelsea team news

Enzo Maresca confirmed on Wednesday that Cole Palmer, Christopher Nkunku and Reece James had all trained ahead of the tie. However, illness has plagued the squad in recent days and could lead to unexpected absentees.

Chelsea remain without hamstring victims Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke and Marc Guiu, while Malo Gusto is sidelined with an ankle issue.

There are also a trio of non-injury absentees for the Blues. Mykhailo Mudryk is suspended after failing a drug test and Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana are ineligible. The injury-hit duo were not included in the Conference League squad.
