Mount, Kante, Silva: Chelsea injury news and return dates following Borussia Dortmund victory

Chelsea progressed to the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday evening after a significant 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund, coming through the tie 2-1 on aggregate. Raheem Sterling's first-half breakthrough was added to by Kai Havertz's penalty - albeit at the second attempt - to overcome the one goal deficit suffered in the first-leg.

The turnaround was aided by the return of Reece James, who missed Saturday's game against Leeds United with a tight hamstring, who excelled at right wing-back. Another added bonus was Christian Pulisic's return to the squad, with the American having been out since early January with a knee injury, even getting some minutes under his belt as a substitute.

However, the manager was without a number of first-team hopefuls who have still yet to recover from their respective issues, including Mason Mount, who would have missed out through suspension anyway.
