Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Jorginho have all dropped team news hints ahead of Chelsea's clash with Dinamo Zagreb this evening. The trio have posted pre-match graphic previews of the clash to their respective Instagram stories.
Graham Potter will be hoping that Sterling can recapture his rich vein of form should he return to the starting XI as he endures a lengthy goal drought. And, after losing 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in September, the England international could play a huge role as the Blues look to plot their revenge.
Chelsea head into the tie top of Group E on 10 points and with qualification to the round of 16 already secured. AC Milan are in second on seven points and RB Salzburg are third on six points; the two clubs lock horns tonight, with the Austrian side needing to beat the Rossoneri in order to qualify from the group.

Zagreb are bottom of Group E on four points; they need a win and for Milan to win in order to secure a place in the Europa League. Due to UEFA's head-to-head rules, Chelsea are guaranteed to top the group but the Croatian side still have everything to play for.
Speaking to football.london, Potter previewed what is set to be a feisty affair. He said: "We've got first hand experience that Dinamo are a talented side with dangerous players. Certainly the front positions dangerous, good width, well organised.
"Quality team that you would expect at this level. It's the Champions League. They've earned their right to be here, they're still competing for the points so we have to be good, we have to be ready for them.
"We're looking forward to the game, we're looking forward to, I'm not going to say revenge, but of course we want a positive result because we're at home and want to finish the competition off well. Since that game I think we've taken steps forward but we have to take steps again if we want to get a result."
While Sterling, Silva and Jorginho posting graphic previews of the Dinamo Zagreb fixture on their social media profiles does not necessarily mean both will start, it usually means they will be involved in some capacity. Follow live coverage of the game in our live blog here.
