Chelsea boss Graham Potter is set to recall the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling to his starting side for Tuesday's Champions League clash with AC Milan.

Potter made a number of changes for Saturday's Premier League game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but the Blues still managed to record a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

Aubameyang and Sterling are set to return in the final third of the field, with the duo likely to start alongside Mason Mount, with Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz set to drop to the bench.

Mateo Kovacic is also expected to be back in midfield, but Ruben Loftus-Cheek should keep his spot, with N'Golo Kante again set to be absent with a hamstring problem.

Ben Chilwell and Reece James will also be back in the side in the wing-back positions, while Thiago Silva is set to feature in a back three.

Wesley Fofana is expected to miss around four weeks with the knee injury that he suffered in the reverse game with Milan at Stamford Bridge last week.

As a result, Trevoh Chalobah should play alongside Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly, with Cesar Azpilicueta dropping back down to the bench for the London club.

Jorginho played the full 90 minutes against Wolves in the league on Saturday but is expected to be among the substitutes for the first whistle at San Siro.

Hakim Ziyech has not made the trip to Milan, meanwhile, due to injury.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Kepa; Chalobah, T Silva, Koulibaly; James, Loftus-Cheek, Kovacic, Chilwell; Sterling, Aubameyang, Mount
