Chelsea took part in a training session in Sevilla last night ahead of their Champions League clash against Porto.
The Blues got a feel of the pitch and the full group took part in the session.

Unfortunately though, Mateo Kovacic pulled up injured during the session and looks to be out of the match.
Chelsea's full group trained in Sevilla last night, including Mateo Kovacic.
He pulled up with a hamstring issue and is very likely to miss the game today, but although it is still early to really tell, I understand it should not be too serious…https://t.co/E3rQUeHbnG pic.twitter.com/p7RlB1cclG

Andreas Christensen missed Chelsea’s last game with a small injury and despite being back in the squad, I believe Thiago Silva may get the nod this evening.
Other than that, it looks like N’Golo Kante will come in for Kovacic in midfield, but I think we could see pretty much the same line up as the weekend, other than maybe Hakim Ziyech over Christian Pulisic baring in mind his regular injury struggles, and Reece James in for Callum Hudson-Odoi for rotation.
Predicted Xl:
Mendy, Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger. James, Kante, Jorginho, Chilwell. Ziyech, Mount, Havertz.
yea thats a good x1 indeed
Is high time Ziyech start ahead of Timo Warner he’s a big Time flog he’s not playing up to expectations after been given multiple chances Hkim Ziyech is better
