The Blues do have some personnel issues, though, with Branislav Ivanoivc suspended, meaning that there could be room in the starting XI for Ashley Cole to come in with Cesar Azpilicueta moving over to the right.

As well Ivanovic, Eden Hazard could also miss out. The Belgian playmaker has not played for two weeks because of a calf complaint, with the match in the Spanish capital potentially coming too soon.

Mohamed Salah and Nemanja Matic are both cup tied, but goalkeeper Petr Cech should be able to return after shaking off an illness.

Thibaut Courtios is likely to feature for the hosts, and Diego Simeone has been boosted by the news that Turkish midfielder Arda Turan is fit to feature along with leading goalscorer Diego Costa.
