How Chelsea could line up against Borussia Dortmund

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Chelsea could line up for Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg with Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea boss Graham Potter will have to cope without the suspended Mason Mount for Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg against Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge.

The England international picked up his third European caution of the season in their 1-0 first-leg defeat last month, although he missed Saturday's win over Leeds United due to an abdominal injury anyway.

Joining Mount on the sidelines will be N'Golo Kante, Thiago Silva, Armando Broja and Edouard Mendy, while Cesar Azpilicueta may not be risked just yet either due to the nature of his head injury.

On a brighter note, ex-Dortmund man Christian Pulisic is back from a knee problem, and Reece James will undergo a late fitness test but should be fine to displace Ruben Loftus-Cheek at right-wing back.

A central defensive rejig will be required due to Benoit Badiashile's ineligibility, and with Potter likely seeing no need to switch from a back three, Trevoh Chalobah could come in alongside Wesley Fofana and Kalidou Koulibaly in front of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

A largely unaltered 3-4-3 shape would see Enzo Fernandez and Mateo Kovacic link arms in the middle, as Ben Chilwell continues on the left ahead of the ostracised Marc Cucurella.

The woodwork was not Joao Felix's friend against Dortmund or Leeds, but the Atletico Madrid loanee can still expect to hold his place in the final third, while Raheem Sterling should also fend off Mykhaylo Mudryk and Hakim Ziyech.

Despite his continued struggles in the number nine spot, Kai Havertz is seemingly in no danger of dropping out of the side, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang not selected for the knockout rounds.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Kepa; Chalobah, Koulibaly, Fofana; James, Kovacic, Fernandez, Chilwell; Sterling, Havertz, Felix
