Latest Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund injury news as seven to miss tie with Reece James update

Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund will both be without key players for the Champions League last-16, second leg tie on Tuesday night. With the German side taking a 1-0 lead into the game, the onus will be on Graham Potter's men to get their second home victory in a row to secure a passage to the quarter-finals but it will be far from straightforward.
