Chelsea's torrid season so far will take a litmus test as they lock horns with Borussia Dortmund in a crucial Champions League round of 16 2nd leg tie on Tuesday (March 7).

The Blues' tepid season so far can turn worse or can get a massive injection of hope if they can topple the in-form German outfit. Dortmund won the first leg courtesy of a solitary Karim Adeyemi goal and will be arriving in London with the slightest of advantages.

Take a look at the CHE vs DOR team news ahead of their UCL match-

CHE vs DOR: Chelsea Team News, Injury Update

Chelsea boss Graham Potter's tough life in London has been mainly due to lack of creativity, poor execution of his players and a lot of injuries. And ahead of the Dortmund tie, he will again miss a number of his players. Cesar Azpilicueta (concussion), Christian Pulisic (knee), Edouard Mendy (Finger), Thiago Silva (Knee) all will be out of the match due to injuries. N'Golo Kante is back in training after his long hamstring injury lay off, but it is to be seen whether he is fit to play this week. Mason Mount is suspended due to his accumulation of yellow cards and will not play any part.

Chelsea got back to winning ways after six games last weekend against Leeds. But it was far from convincing as their 1-0 winning goal was scored from a corner by defender Wesley Fofana. Their forwards haven't clicked this season but the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix and co. will have to fire on Tuesday.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will play no part as he is not registered in Chelsea's UCL squad. Chelsea's lack of creativity has been mainly due to the absences of Ben Chilwell and Reece James, as the two wing-backs were crucial in their attacking prowess before their injury. But with both of them back, the Blues will be hoping for a better outing up at the pitch.

CHE vs DOR: Borussia Dortmund Team News, Injury Update

Borussia Dortmund have a long list of injured players as well. Abdoulaye Kamara (Knee), Youssoufa Moukoko (Ankle) were already out of the tie with prior injuries, but it seems the previous match goal-scorer Karim Adeyemi is also set to miss the game after his hamstring injury in a Bundesliga match last month. Left-back Julian Ryerson is suspended for the match and it will be another big blow for the German outfit.

Edin Terzic's team are flying in the Bundesliga and have won their last 10 competitive games across all competitions. With the strong unit that they have, Dortmund will fancy themselves smiling at the end of the final whistle. Sebastien Haller is poised to lead their line and Jude Bellingham will be key in the midfield. Adeyemi's unavailability means Marco Reus can start on the left-hand side for the German club.

Chelsea vs Dortmund predicted lineup:

Chelsea starting XI vs Dortmund: Kepa; Chalobah, Koulibaly, Fofana; James, Kovacic, Enzo, Chilwell; Havertz, Mudryk; Joao Felix

Dortmund starting XI vs Chelsea: Kobel; Wolf, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Can, Ozcan; Brandt, Bellingham, Reus; Haller

Chelsea's struggle in front of goal can bite them in the match. Dortmund are in terrific form and will be hard to breach by a Chelsea attack that has found things difficult so far. Although the Blues are at home, it looks unlikely they turning things around. We predict Dortmund will advance from this tie and perhaps get a 1-1 draw on the night.
