Chelsea - Benfica Preview ,Live stream,Highlights

4/04/2012

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba missed the weekend win at Aston Villa with an injury to his toe sustained last Friday, and the Ivorian will undergo a late test on the problem. Similarly, former Benfica defender David Luiz limped off midway through the 4-2 victory at Villa Park with an ankle ligament injury and will be assessed before kick-off. Goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon has been handed a one-match ban for improper conduct by UEFA after he was sent to the stands in the closing minutes of the first leg in Lisbon.

Benfica's main concern as they try to overturn their 1-0 deficit from the first leg is that Luisao is their only fit recognised centre-back. With Ezequiel Garay, Jardel and Miquel Vitor all out injured, it is likely that central midfielder Javi Garcia will fill in. Veteran playmaker Pablo Aimar is well rested after missing the weekend win over Braga through suspension.
