Howeever, Rosenior has some injuries of his own in a must-win match for both sides, who are trying to automatically qualify for the next round of the competition. 

In defense, Rosenior is without Tosin Adarabioyo (thigh) and Levi Colwill (knee) as he aims to build a side who can impress against the likes of former Manchester United stars Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund who will drive Napoli’s attack. 

In midfield, Chelsea will be without Dario Essugo (unknown) and Romeo Lavia (thigh) whilst goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen (unknown) is also out as Robert Sanchez fills in for the Swedish international. 

Chelsea could also easily finish as one of the unseeded teams in the knockout playoffs if they lose to the Italian side. Having won just two of 13 such matches and losing eight to Italian sides, Chelsea fans may be worried given the importance of the clash. 

Fans will take confidence however as Chelsea have won four of five under Rosenior, picking a part Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park over the weekend as they aim to use that momentum against the Italian giants.
