Injured Belgium midfielder Eden Hazard will miss Chelsea's Champions League Group E match at Steaua Bucharest while Kevin de Bruyne has been left in London. Mourinho criticised De Bruyne's performance at Swindon in the Capital One Cup and his efforts in training. Striker Fernando Torres is included in the squad despite facing a domestic ban following his sending off during Saturday's 1-1 draw at Tottenham.
Chelsea started their Champions League group campaign with a 2-1 home defeat by Basel, while Steaua lost 3-0 to Schalke. Chelsea have played at Steaua last season as well and back then the Blues were defeated 1-0 at National Arena in the last 16 of the Europa League. Chelsea managed to overturn the deficit at home before going on to win the competition.
Here is the Chelsea squad for tonight's match in Bucharest: Cech, Ivanovic, Cole, Luiz, Ramires, Lampard, Torres, Mata, Oscar, Mikel, Schurrle, Ba, Willian, Schwarzer, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Eto'o, Bertrand, Blackman.
Here are the odds at Bet365 for tonight's match:
Steaua win - 9/2
Draw - 27/10
Chelsea - 3/4
