Chelsea
Rubin Kazan
- Ashley Cole was forced off with a hamstring problem against Manchester United and he, along with Gary Cahill, will be out for around two weeks.
- Oriol Romeu remains the only other absentee through injury, while Demba Ba is ineligible to play, so Fernando Torres will return up front.
- Ramires, Mikel and Bertrand are all one booking away from suspension, along with the injured Ashley Cole, and Benitez will have to choose between Ivanovic and Terry at the back.
- Cristian Ansaldi and Cesar Navas return to the squad having missed the second leg against Levante through suspension.
- Ivan Marcano and Salomon Rondon were rested at the weekend but should return to the side, with the latter still in with an outside chance of winning the Golden Boot having netted 5 times thus far.
- Berdyev must choose between veteran centre-backs Navas and Sharonov at the back, and though he has a full squad to choose from as many as 8 players are one booking away from a ban.
