Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Real Madrid

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Chelsea will head to Bernabeu on Wednesday evening for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with the holders Real Madrid.

The Blues, who have re-appointed Frank Lampard as interim head coach, knocked Borussia Dortmund out in the last-16 stage of the European Cup.

However, the London giants will enter this game off the back of a four-game winless run, which includes a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Real Madrid, who lost 3-2 to Villarreal in La Liga last time out.
