Chelsea team news

There was brief concern for Reece James when he was replaced at half-time at Turf Moor, but Maresca later clarified that the substitution had been planned in advance.

Wesley Fofana was left out of the squad entirely as a precaution but Chelsea are still without Romeo Lavia, Cole Palmer, Dario Essugo and Levi Colwill, while Mykhaylo Mudryk continues to serve his long doping suspension, which has kept him out for nearly a year.

Barcelona team news

On the Barcelona side, Alejandro Balde was also replaced at the interval after taking a blow to the head, but early indications suggest that his issue is not serious.

Frenkie de Jong returns after a domestic ban, but Pedri, Gavi and Marc-André ter Stegen are still unavailable.

Marcus Rashford’s involvement remains uncertain due to illness.
