The travelling party will touch down at around 7pm local time and head straight to the team hotel, having trained for the final time ahead of the tie at Cobham this morning.

Christian Pulisic, Tammy Abraham and N’Golo Kante are all fit to be part of the squad, while Mason Mount and Jorginho are both available again for European games after missing our victory over Atletico Madrid through suspension.

Restrictions around Covid-19 have meant that this game, and the second leg in a week’s time, will not be played in Portugal or London. Instead Sevilla’s home ground, Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, will be used for both fixtures. The Blues defeated the La Liga side 4-0 earlier this season, with Olivier Giroud netting all four Chelsea goals.
