John Terry, a key defender for Chelsea, was ruled out of the game in Paris after being forced off by injury during his side’s 5-1 win over Newcastle United on Saturday.

Hazard suggested in an interview published on Monday that he would struggle to turn down a move to PSG, with the timing of the comments unfortunate on the eve of Chelsea’s Champions League last-16 clash against the French champions.
Chelsea’s interim boss Guus Hiddink said last week he thought PSG were favourites, but the outcome is not a foregone conclusion.
“We had a test this morning”.
“He penalized himself, and it’s also bad for the club, it’s harming the club’s image”. He has a bit of a problem on his hamstring and on the tendon in that area.
The right-back has apologised after a live question-and-answer session on Periscope came to light in which he insulted Blanc and several PSG players. “We desperately desire the chance to go through to the next round but also we must take into consideration the game with Manchester City”.
“But I am not the type of coach or manager who starts moaning, moaning and moaning”.
Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has been caught with another transfer story, as according to Evening Standard the Belgian says it would be hard to resist a move to Paris-Saint-Germain in the future.
“It’s about winning the Champions League, not looking just to get back into it next year”, said Hiddink.
“We know Chelsea well, and like us they have not changed much”.
Thibaut Courtois admits the Blues could miss their captain’s leadership but insists he has confidence in his teammates to step up.
“It’s 50-50. If you see where we are now and where PSG are now, they are building a very strong team and dominating the French league completely”, he added.
“He should be preparing to play a Champions League knockout match tomorrow”.
PSG were held to a rare goalless draw against Lille at the weekend but are still a jaw dropping 24 points clear in Ligue 1.
Courtois added: “It’s not only to reach Champions League next season”. To play with the quality of players we have.

PSG have been knocked out in the quarter-finals of the past three Champions Leagues but hope the addition of winger Angel Di Maria, who has been an inspiration since he joined, will help them go further.
