Latest Chelsea injury news as three players miss Leicester City as Reece James update expected

Chelsea made their way past Borussia Dortmund and into the Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. On what was a defining night for Graham Potter, his returning stars did the trick.

Being able to once more rely on Wesley Fofana at the back - making his first European appearance since injury in the group stages in October - the Frenchman was outstanding in defence. He was partnered in the back five by Reece James - who missed the weekend's action with Leeds out of precaution - and Ben Chilwell.

The English left-back was brilliant once more, supplying Raheem Sterling with the assist for the opener before winning the decisive second half penalty. Their record together in Europe for Chelsea is the stuff of dreams, playing 17 times, winning 12 of those with three draws, scoring 29 and conceding just five.
