English Premier League giant Chelsea football club is set to return to action against Bundesliga giant Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League round of 16. The first leg went in favor of Dortmund when Adeyemi took Enzo Fernandez on to score a wonderful solo goal at Signal Iduna Park.
Chelsea manager Graham Potter will head into the game in search of a comeback win that will propel them to a place in the quarter-finals of the competition. Although that will be a difficult task to ask of a team that is enduring a woeful season considering Dortmund’s current form.
Dortmund is still fighting for the league title as they moved the same point as Bayern Munich with just a goal difference after beating Leipzig 2-1 during the weekend. Although the German-born Nigeria outlet suffered an injury that will keep him out of the Tuesday clash, Brandt is expected to replace him.
Chelsea on the other hand will be keen on maintaining the crucial win they grabbed against Leeds United at Stamford Bridge, as they bid to use it as a stepping stone to a comeback against the Bundesliga club.
Chelsea lineup.
Kepa Arizabalaga, Fofana, Benoit, Koulibaly, Loftus Check, Kovacic, Enzo Fernandez, Chilwell, Sterling, Kai Havertz Joao Felix.
