Latest Chelsea injury news as two miss Real Madrid amid Frank Lampard's Thiago Silva hope

Chelsea and Frank Lampard will be hoping to defeat the odds on Wednesday evening when they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final.

The Blues travel to Spain for the first leg of the tie before welcoming the reigning European champions to Stamford Bridge next week. Lampard will need his stars back if he is to guide the West Londoners to an historic triumph over Carlo Ancelotti's side and will benefit from a number of players returning from injury.

After welcoming Raheem Sterling back over the weekend, Chelsea have been handed a major boost in the fitness of Thiago Silva. The defender has been out injured since February's defeat to Tottenham but is now close to returning.
