Who trained and who didn't in Chelsea training session ahead of Real Madrid clash

Chelsea trained for the final time ahead of tomorrow's Champions League quarter-final second-leg tie with Real Madrid on Monday. The Blues are currently 2-0 down on aggregate and face an uphill task of turning the tie around.

Frank Lampard's men come into the contest at Stamford Bridge on the back of three straight defeats after losing 2-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday. Chelsea must overturn a two-goal lead if they are to advance to the semi-final, with them winning the competition the last possible route of bringing Champions League football back to west London next season.

However, they will be without defender Kalidou Koulibaly after the 31-year-old was not spotted at an open training session at Cobham on Monday. The centre-back was forced off in the first-leg with a hamstring issue after sprinting to recover a loose ball.

"He won't be available for either game [Brighton or Real Madrid]," Lampard said on Koulibaly last week. "A hamstring injury, it will be a matter of weeks rather than days."

However, despite the blow of Koulibaly, Lampard was handed a boost with Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz training after being missing from the squad in the loss to Brighton. N'Golo Kante and youngster Lewis Hall were also both present.

Here's a list of the players available to Chelsea:

Edouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Marcus Bettinelli, Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Thiago Silva, Marc Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher, Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, Raheem Sterling, Kai Havertz, Mkyhailo Mudryk, Denis Zakaria, Hakim Ziyech, Carney Chukwuemeka, Joao Felix.
