Chelsea injury news as the Blues' list of absentees gradually decreases ahead of the Champions League tie with Real Madrid

Chelsea and Frank Lampard will be hoping to defeat the odds on Wednesday evening when they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final.

After welcoming Raheem Sterling back over the weekend, Chelsea have been handed a major boost in the fitness of Thiago Silva. The defender has been out injured since February's defeat to Tottenham but is now close to returning.

"Mason had a feeling in his pelvic area. Injury that he's been carrying the last two days," Lampard said. "He trained in those two days but was struggling a little bit."

Elsewhere, Chelsea will continue to be without Armando Broja and Cesar Azpilicueta, the former a long-term absentee and the latter last seen on February 18.
