Ten Chelsea players who will be missing from squad to face Borussia Dortmund in Champions League

Chelsea are guaranteed to be without at least 10 players from their squad to face Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. The clash is a key one for the Blues, who will have to overturn a 1-0 deficit to ensure they aren't knocked out of the competition.

The first leg at the Signal Iduna Park saw the away side on top, but in a familiar tale in recent weeks, they were unable to put away their chances. The home side capitalised as Karim Adeyemi's burst of acceleration saw him run half the length of the pitch before scoring the winning goal.

With a huge second leg ahead of the west London outfit, Graham Potter set out his expectations for the match, telling reporters: "It's a big game, an exciting game, a chance to go through to the last eight of the Champions League. It will be a special night at Stamford Bridge, so we’re really looking forward to that. All our thoughts are on being positive, winning the game, and going through. In terms of what we learned from the previous game [against Dortmund] they are a top opponent.
