Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard confirmed the injured players would be out for the game at the pre-match press conference but also let fans know that the team wasn’t too far away from being completely healthy again.
"(Christian) Pulisic is out, Hudson-Odoi is out, (N'Golo) Kante is out," said Lampard. “Callum's out, he's not far away but not this game."
Both teams are coming into the match after winning close games in their last outings. Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-1 and Bayern took down Paderborn 3-2. The confidence of these close wins should have both teams coming in believing they have the edge.
Chelsea has been poor at home this season, struggling in matches against Southampton and West Ham. This match against Bayern will be Chelsea’s toughest game since facing Manchester United.
