DARK SECRETS: Real madrid vs chelsea predicted teams as frank lampard set for champions league changes | Vintage Vibes

Chelsea have a near fully-fit squad as they travel to face Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Interim boss Frank Lampard boasts a broader range of options compared to his first game back in charge of the Blues, a limp 1-0 defeat away to Wolves on Saturday. Defensive rock Thiago Silva, midfield marvel N'Golo Kante and Mason Mount, a favourite of Lampard's, have all made the trip to the Spanish capital in the hope of helping Chelsea overcome the odds.

Club captain Cesar Azpilicueta also returns in a 24-man travelling party, although he isn't expected to feature following a knee injury and concussion in mid-February.
