James is out of the game and could face several weeks on the sidelines with a fresh hamstring injury sustained towards the end of Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle.

Gusto, meanwhile, was unwell on Monday and is a doubt for the PSG game with a final assessment due on the day of the game.

Chelsea are seeking to overturn a 5-2 defeat from their disastrous first leg in Paris.

Estevao has not played since last month’s FA Cup win at Hull City due to a hamstring injury of his own but is now back in training and has been named to the bench.

Wesley Fofana started alongside Trevoh Chalobah at centre-back in the first leg but was at fault for at least one of the goals and a report in the French media on Tuesday morning claimning Fofana is not set to start the second leg has rung true.

A centre-back pairing of Jorrel Hato and Mamadou Sarr has been named.

Jamie Gittens has been out with a hamstring injury, while Levi Colwill is working his way back from a serious knee injury that means he has not played a single minute this term. Gittens did not train on Monday but Colwill did.

Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen made two high-profile errors in the first leg against PSG but is due to undergo scans on a groin injury so will miss the second leg, with Robert Sanchez to start instead.

Pedro Neto is available after UEFA decided not to hand him a one-match ban for his shove on a ball-boy late on in the first leg at the Parc des Princes. He is straight back into the starting lineup.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Chalobah, Sarr, Hato, Cucurella; Caicedo, Santos; Palmer, Enzo, Neto; Joao Pedro

Subs: Merrick, Sharman-Lowe, Acheampong, Tosin, Fofana, Lavia, Kavuma-McQueen, Estevao, Garnacho, Mheuka, Guiu, Delap

Injured: James, Colwill, Jorgensen, Gittens, Gusto
