Chelsea v AS Roma: Probable lineups – Conte facing major injury worries – Turkey international available to start 

Chelsea take on Serie A giants AS Roma tonight in the UEFA Champions League.

Antonio Conte’s side will be desperate to bounce back from Sunday’s humiliating 2-1 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.

Chelsea sit top of Group C in their Champions League group with six points after two games.

Roma meanwhile also come into tonight’s encounter off the back of a league defeat. The Serie A giants sit second in Group C with four points.

Conte will have a decision to make in midfield as he will be unable to call upon N’golo Kane due to a thigh injury.

Meanwhile, Victor Moses and Danny Drinkwater will also miss tonight’s encounter due to injuries.

The Italian tactician will be hoping to recall Alvaro Motata to his starting lineup. However, the star striker will face a late fitness test and has missed Chelsea’s last two games.

Roma’s Turkey international Cengiz Under is available for selection tognight. The young winger looked lively when he came on in the second half against Napoli on Saturday.
