Chelsea boss Graham Potter aims for a personnel boost for tonight's Champions League clash at Borussia Dortmund.
For the round of 16 first-leg clash, Raheem Sterling is out of the squad, but Wesley Fofana, Denis Zakaria and Mateo Kovacic have traveled.
All three are in the squad, so that is good," said Potter. "As I said before the previous game, they are getting closer to minutes but the challenge for us is to build them up so they are right from a game time perspective. But it's nice Wesley, Mateo and Denis are with the group."
Asked if he was excited, the manager also said: Absolutely, it would be strange if I wasn't. As you say, this is the knockout stage of the Champions League, the pinnacle of the game. We're playing against a fantastic club and team in front of 80,000 supporters here.
"It will be a wonderful occasion and I think we're all looking forward to the match. We understand the challenge that awaits us but we're really excited for it."
