Latest Chelsea injury news as three miss Real Madrid with N'Golo Kante update

Chelsea will need more than just a fully-fit squad if they are to beat Real Madrid on Tuesday, let alone overcome the two-goal defecit from the first leg. Frank Lampard's men will need to score three in a game for the first time since October to beat the current European champions over two legs.

Having only scored once in the three games he has overseen as caretaker manager, it looks extremely unlikely to say the least, and that is for a club with its fair share of European comback pedigree story as underdogs. Chelsea may well have N'Golo Kante and Thiago Silva, two pillars of their 2021 winning side, back from a rest but it will take superhuman efforts to get them close to going through here.

Kante has been confirmed as being available by Lampard after he was given the weekend off in order to prepare for the task at hand at Stamford Bridge. Silva is in the same camp having been rushed back from his own injury six weeks ago. The Brazilian had been out with a knee injury but played the full game against Carlo Ancelotti's men in the first leg.
