Chelsea v Borussia Dortmund: Reece James and Christian Pulisic could return for Champions League tie

Reece James and Christian Pulisic could return as Chelsea look to overturn a one-goal deficit in their Champions League last-16 tie against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

Defender Thiago Silva remains injured and midfielder Mason Mount is suspended after being booked in Germany.

Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and Netherlands forward Donyell Malen should both be fit for Dortmund.

Karim Adeyemi, though, has been ruled out for the visitors.

Germany forward Adeyemi, who scored the winner three weeks ago, has not played since 19 February after picking up a muscle injury.

Dortmund, second on goal difference behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, travel to London looking to record their 11th consecutive victory in all competitions, while Chelsea are hoping to secure back-to-back wins for the first time since October.
