Thiago Silva and Tammy Abraham missing for Chelseas game with Atletico Madrid

Thiago Silva and Tammy Abraham will miss Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid through injury.

Defender Silva has yet to shake off a thigh complaint, while striker Abraham continues to battle an ankle issue, though both are expected to be fit for club action after the international break.

Midfielders Mason Mount and Jorginho will miss the last-16 second-leg encounter due to suspension.

Provisional squad: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger, Hudson-Odoi, Chilwell, Kante, Havertz, Ziyech, Giroud, Arrizabalaga, James, Christensen, Emerson, Alonso, Kovacic, Gilmour, Pulisic, Werner.
