Chelsea news: Ancelotti and Mourinho Champions League warning as Potter provides Fofana update

Your morning Chelsea digest on Sunday, March 19.

Carlo Ancelotti warning

Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti have both given Chelsea reason to be scared ahead of the Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid.

The Blues have drawn the Spanish giants for the third season in a row with each side having progressed once each in the past two campaigns with each one going on to win the competition.

Having gotten past Liverpool in the last-16, Ancelotti had a word of warning for his former club. "We have had the experience of last year against Chelsea. We had a three-goal advantage, that is why we are and were favourites, but the other fact is that we have to play another 90 minutes," he said.

"To do that, we have to play with the same attitude as the first leg. We have the advantage, but we can't think of managing the game and the result that we had, we have to play 90 minutes at the top."

Potter did, though, confirm the France international was feeling his hamstring. Fofana was spotted in the dugout at Stamford Bridge with an ice pack on his right thigh, leaving some Blues supporters to fear the worst.

"Wes Fofana had to come off with fatigue, as he has had a long time out," Potter explained. "He was feeling his hamstring. Wes was fantastic and defended well."
