What is the team news?
The two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas has returned to the Barcelona bench. The Spain star has not played for Barcelona since last season’s Champions League final defeat to Lyon after suffering an ACL injury on the eve of last summer’s Euros, but returned to training ahead of the second leg. England star Lucy Bronze is out for two weeks, however, after hurting her knee in the first leg at Stamford Bridge and undergoing minor surgery.
Bronze is replaced by captain Marta Torrejón, while Barcelona make two changes to their front line, with Mariona Caldentey and Asisat Oshoala replacing Geyse and Salma Paralluelo.
Chelsea lined up with a back three in the first leg in a formation switch that saw Lauren James drop to the bench, and line up in the same way at the Nou Camp. There is only change from the first leg but James remains on the bench as Jessie Fleming replaces Jelena Cankovic as the Blues look to overturn Barcelona’s lead. Emma Hayes is without centre-backs Millie Bright and Kadeisha Buchanan, as well as England’s Fran Kirby, while Pernille Harder again starts on the bench as she works to regain full match fitness.
