Chelsea team news
Mason Mount didn’t play against Leeds because of an abdominal injury and didn’t train on Monday. The England international is suspended for Tuesday’s game.
Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and full-back César Azpilicueta should return to action in the coming days but central defender Thiago Silva is expected to spend at least another month in the treatment room.
The Dortmund bus reportedly arrived at Stamford Bridge late and that is the reason for the delay.
After over two months, we could once again see Christian Pulisic play some minutes in a Chelsea shirt in Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund.
The USMNT star is in the squad for the game against his former club.
Adeyemi's first-leg wondergoal
This is the goal that has Dortmund in front going into tonight's return leg.
Danny Makkelie from the Netherlands will referee tonight’s Champions League match between Chelsea and Dortmund at Stamford Bridge.
Makkelie, 40, is a police officer from Willemstad in the Netherlands and has been a FIFA-listed referee since 2011. He officiated Chelsea’s 3-0 home win against AC Milan earlier this season. The VAR will be Pol Van Boekel from the Netherlands.
Pre-match prep
The players are having their pre-match strolls at Stamford Bridge. Then it will be time for the warm-ups.
Jude Bellingham this season:
Jude Bellingham has a contract at Dortmund until 2025 but is attracting interest from the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid, and could leave the club soon.
The 19-year-old's season in numbers:
31 games, 10 goals, 6 assists.
Chelsea vs German sides
Chelsea's 26 matches against German teams in European competitions:
🟩 11 wins
🟨 8 draws
🟥 7 defeats
Dortmund unbeaten in 2023
Dortmund are unbeaten in 2023 and kept the pressure on leaders Bayern Munich by beating RB Leipzig 2-1 on Friday.
Bayern are top of the Bundesliga on goal difference - as they sit on 49 points - the same number of points as Dortmund.
Adeyemi the first-leg hero
Chelsea had their chances to score in the first leg in Germany but couldn't take them. Potter's side will believe they can still go through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Karim Adeyemi's 63rd-minute goal was superb. He ran from inside his own half and then beat Enzo and Kepa to slot it home and give the home side the lead. The Germany international will miss tonight's match through injury.
Dortmund have a 1-0 lead going into the second leg at Stamford Bridge. It's all set up to be a cracking European tie.
Chelsea win ahead of Dortmund clash
Chelsea welcome Borussia Dortmund to London on Tuesday for their last-16 Champions League second-leg tie.
The first leg saw the Bundesliga side win 1-0 thanks to an effort from Karim Adeyemi.
Potter’s side picked up a much-needed three points in the Premier League at the weekend when centre-back Wesley Fofana scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win over Leeds United.
Potter under pressure
It's a huge night for Chelsea and their head coach Graham Potter. Many would argue he needs time but failure to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League with over €600m invested in new transfers would only pile the pressure on the former Brighton boss.
Kickoff approaches
Kickoff at Stamford Bridge gets underway in just over two hours' time. We'll have all the latest for you from London.
