The Blues head to Paris on Wednesday for the first leg of their last 16 tie against the holders, in a repeat of last summer’s Club World Cup final.

Both teams have been in mixed form this season, and it’s sure to be a mouth watering occasion at the Parc des Princes.

Liam Rosenior provides update on Levi Colwill and Jamie Gittens

The Chelsea team pretty much picks itself, but Rosenior does have one or two important decisions he needs to make.

Rosenior refused to confirm who would start in goal between Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, whilst it’ll be interesting to see if he plays Reece James at right back or in midfield.

In terms of team news Estevao and Gittens are both absent from the squad, along with long term absentee Colwill.

However, Colwill was seen in Chelsea’s open training session on Tuesday morning, and Rosenior has provided an update on the centre back and Gittens in a wider question about the impact of the Club World Cup.

“If you speak about it too much, it becomes something you don’t want it to be,” he told his pre-match press conference.

“I’ve tried to manage the minutes, the training load, the intensity we show in training.

“The idea is to try and be as strong as possible in the crunch games.

“Levi is back in modified training, Jamie Gittens is back. We’re working very hard on our injury load and that needs to continue.”

Reece James fit and ready to go

There was some concern amongst Chelsea fans after James wasn’t seen in training on Monday, but he took part in Tuesday’s session.

The 26-year-old will have a key role to play on Wednesday night, and he’s been in brilliant form this season both at right back and in midfield.

PSG have some top quality attackers, and James will need to be at his best defensively to keep the French champions quiet.
