Chelsea continued their Champions League title defense by defeating Lille 2-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's star players were injured in their debuts against Lille in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg, despite their victory over the French side.
Hakim Ziyech and Mateo Kovacic are both substituted due to injuries sustained against Lille.
Hakim Ziyech was kicked in the achilles, forcing Thomas Tuchel to take him out of the game.
The star's participation in Sunday's match against Liverpool is still in doubt because the club's medical team has yet to provide adequate information about his return and fitness.
In the absence of Mateo Kovacic, who received a tackle from behind on his back and was unable to continue the game because the pain was unbearable. Mateo Kovacic is also on the verge of being named to Tuchel's XI on Sunday, but his injury is not too serious.
