Thiago Silva may have dropped a big hint about starting Chelsea's Champions League semi-final first-leg against Real Madrid.
The Blues' 24-man squad for the game at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium was revealed on Monday afternoon, with head coach Thomas Tuchel confirming Mateo Kovavic as the sole absentee.
"It is only Mateo Kovacic we are missing,' Tuchel said during his pre-match press conference. "Everyone else is available and everyone else will be in the squad for tomorrow."
As a result, Chelsea has made the trip to Spain as he bids to reach successive Champions League finals having done so with Paris Saint-Germain - under Tuchel - last season.
The Brazilian has only recently returned from an injury layoff but has started three of Thomas Tuchel 's last four games - which have all ended with clean sheets.
That would suggest the Blues have found the perfect defensive formula that will come in handy against Los Blancos who put three past Liverpool in the last round.
But is Thiago Silva in line to retain his place in Tuchel's starting XI for a third successive game across all competitions?
That may be the case as if his social media activity is anything to go by.
Taking to Thiago Silva, the defender has done his best to hype up the big game in Spain which could suggest he's in line to start against the likes of Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior.
The likes of Jorginho and Ben Chilwell have done similar whenever they've been included in a Chelsea starting XI this season.
And they too are in contention to start this evening.
The Blues go into the game on the back of a 1-0 win over West Ham United in the Premier League, whilst Real Madrid were held to a goalless draw at home to Real Betis.
