Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has provided an injury update on Antonio Rudiger and Mateo Kovacic ahead of the Real Madrid clash.
Rudiger suffered a facial injury during the first leg of the Champions League semi-final tie against Los Blancos.
He subsequently missed the Fulham game, but is set to return for the Madrid clash. He will wear a face mask for protection.
Meanwhile, Kovacic has missed the previous seven matches with a hamstring injury. He could be unavailable for the midweek game.
Earlier last week, Tuchel confirmed that the Croatian suffered a setback in training, and he remains a big doubt to face Madrid.
The Blues have the away-goal advantage after the 1-1 draw on the road. They have a great chance to reach the final in Istanbul.
A goalless draw would be sufficient to see them progress, but Madrid are likely to provide a stiff challenge for them.
The Spanish champions will be missing Raphael Varane with an injury, but club-captain Sergio Ramos is fit for selection.
