Chelsea XI vs PSG: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Champions League

The Blues face the side they beat in the Club World Cup final last summer when they pay them a visit at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.

And ahead of the game, there was positive news for Liam Rosenior on the injury front as both Reece James and Jamie Gittens were pictured in training at Cobham on Tuesday morning before the squad flew out to France. But Gittens was then left out of Chelsea’s travelling squad.

Also training with the first team was Levi Colwill, who has not played a single minute so far this term after suffering a serious knee injury on the first day of pre-season training.

He will also not feature against PSG after missing out on the travelling squad too, but his return to training is a positive development.

Cole Palmer was also training on Tuesday but there was no Estevao, who has been following an individual programme after a hamstring injury that turned out to be a little more serious than expected.

Rosenior will name his strongest possible lineup for the trip to Paris and so the availability of James to feature at right-back could be key.

There is a decision to make in goal. He dropped first-choice ‘keeper Robert Sanchez away at Aston Villa last week and was rewarded as Filip Jorgensen was part of a team that won 4-1.

When Sanchez then played against Wrexham in the FA Cup on Saturday, he looked nervous and conceded twice against the Championship side.

Predicted Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Santos, Caicedo; Palmer, Fernandez, Neto; Joao Pedro

Injured: Estevao, Colwill

Not with squad: Gittens, Essugo
