What is the team news?

Chelsea are still suffering with multiple injuries.

Antonio Rudiger is ruled out with a groin injury, whilst N’Golo Kante is a major doubt to start.

However, Chelsea see the return of Callum Hudson-Odoi, as the young prospect got himself a goal on his first match back from injury and is likely to be part of the squad that face Lille.

Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount have been at the forefront of Chelsea’s attack so far this season, and both players will be at Frank Lampard’s disposal for this upcoming fixture.

Meanwhile, Lille forward Timothy Weah is out with a hamstring.

The former PSG player spent the second of last season on loan at Celtic, before completing a switch to Lille in the summer.

But the French outfit have ex-Chelsea striker Loic Remy to play with the forward spending three years at Stamford Bridge.
