Chelsea vs Barcelona Champions League Team News

Reece James’s halftime withdrawal at Burnley raised fears. However, it was later confirmed as precautionary. Wesley Fofana is expected to return. Tosin Adarabioyo is also pushing for another start. Chelsea remain without Romeo Lavia, Cole Palmer, Dario Essugo, Levi Colwill and long-term absentee Mykhaylo Mudryk due to injury and suspension issues.

Alejandro Balde suffered a minor head knock but he should travel. Marcus Rashford’s involvement remains uncertain because of an illness, whereas Raphinha featured off the bench last weekend. Ferran Torres’s brace strengthens his case for inclusion, and Frenkie de Jong is available again. Pedri, Gavi and goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen continue their spells on the sidelines.
