Chelsea v Lille: Mason Mount back in training but doubtful for Champions League game

Champions League holders Chelsea are likely to be without Mason Mount again when they face Lille in the last 16 on Tuesday.

The Blues forward is back in individual training after injuring his ankle at the Club World Cup but the match with the French champions may come too soon.

Defender Cesar Azpilicueta (groin) should be available.

Callum Hudson-Odoi (Achilles) is unlikely to feature, while Reece James and Ben Chilwell are still out.

Chelsea finished second in Group H behind Juventus and could have faced the likes of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, but their prospects of retaining the trophy they won last May were boosted when they drew Lille, who are struggling in 11th in Ligue 1 this season.
