Team News
Chelsea will be without Ryan Bertrand for their second leg last-eight Europa League clash with Rubin Kazan tonight. The left-back, who stood in for the injured Ashley Cole in the first leg, is too ill to travel, and is likely to be replaced by rookie Nathan Ake, 18. Gary Cahill is also out following knee surgery and joins Cole on the sidelines, while Demba Ba is once more cup tied. Rubin Kazan coach Kurban Berdyev has a fully fit squad to select from tonight. Midfielders Alexei Eremenko and Yann M'Vila remain out, but there are no fresh injury concerns.
