Eintracht Frankfurt have been handed a huge boost ahead of the Chelsea game with the news that key forward Sebastien Haller has been passed fit. The 24-year-old has been out for a month through injury and missed the Europa League semi-final first leg which finished 1-1 last week, with Chelsea grabbing a crucial away goal.

Frankfurt will need to do the same at Stamford Bridge tonight and having Haller, who has 14 goals and nine assists to his name this season, available is a huge boost. Ante Rebic, who has scored nine goals, returns from suspension, and will play alongside 17-goal striker Luka Jovic in attack. A goalless draw would be enough to take Chelsea through but boss Maurizio Sarri believes they are in for a tough game.
“We want to reach the Europa League final and win it because we deserve a trophy this season,” he said. “It’s not easy because we have to play a dangerous team as we saw in the first leg. They’re dynamic and aggressive and when they can find spaces, it’s a dangerous match. “In a semi-final you have to play against a strong team with very strong players. It’s difficult to be the favourite in a semi-final.”
