Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Real Madrid.

Chelsea will be aiming to pull off an incredible Champions League comeback when they face Real Madrid in the second leg of their quarter-final tie on Tuesday night.

Thomas Tuchel's side saw the defence of their crown left in tatters after a 3-1 loss in the first leg at Stamford Bridge, with Karim Benzema netting another delightful hat-trick on the night.

However, the Blues responded in perfect fashion during Saturday's Premier League meeting with Southampton - hitting Ralph Hasenhuttl's lacklustre side for six without reply.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg.
