Team News:

  • Fluminense have no injury concerns but will be without suspended Juan Freytes and Matheus Martinelli.
  • Benoit Badiashile is injured, hence will not be in action for the Blues. Chelsea might also miss out on the services of Reece James due to physical discomfort.

Player(s) to watch:

  • Hercules has scored two goals in the last two games for Fluminense in the mega competition. On both occasions, Hercules stepped up to help his side win the match. He scored an important match-winning goal in both of their last knockout games. Hercules is going to play an important role in controlling the midfield as well as in the attacking front.
  • Cole Palmer will have a crucial role to play. He engraved his name on the scoring sheet once again for the Blues. The team that will dominate the midfield is likely to come out on top and Palmer can be the individual to make a difference. The English midfielder will have a great impact in the final third. He can create plays for his fellow teammates on the attacking front.
