Atletico Madrid have won only once in nine away fixtures against English sides, losing four and drawing four before match Chelsea - Atletico Madrid.
In Chelsea, the team asked if Terry, who injured his ankle in the first leg, will start, Mourinho said: "Of course," while the captain himself added: "I wouldn't put the team at any risk but I am fully fit." Hazard, recovered from a calf problem, is also "ready" according to Mourinho.
Cech, thought to be out for weeks after dislocating his shoulder in Madrid last week, also trained and hinted he felt he was ready to start ahead of Mark Schwarzer but the manager stated: "His condition doesn't give him a chance." It remains to be seen if Eto'o has fully recovered from his knee injury. Lampard and Mikel are suspended.
In Atletico de Madrid, defender Javi Manquillo is in the squad but is not expected to feature due to a neck injury. Gabi is suspended.
19:19. If the score after 90 minutes is 0-0 then extra time will be played and, if necessary, penalties taken. The away goals rule applies, so any other score will result in the game ending after normal time and stoppages. Chelsea have won three of our last five penalty shoot-outs, the last being at the Allianz Arena in the 2012 Champions League final against Bayern Munich. Atletico on the other hand, have lost all three of their shoot-outs in UEFA competitions, the last being in 2004.
19:16. Again the Blues will be without suspended Frank Lampard and John Mikel Obi as well as the ineligible Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah. Injury will also deprive Chelsea of the PFA's team of the year goalkeeper, Petr Cech. Eden Hazard, John Terry, Samuel Eto'o and, to a very minor extent, Cech all participated in training yesterday. Mourinho has announced that newly crowned PFA Young Player of the Year Hazard is available to return to action after missing the first leg, should he select him; Terry and Cech were both injured during that match.
19:13. What makes this clash most fascinating is that the two sides appear almost mirror images of each other, their success founded on brilliant defending and lightning counter attacks. Atletico are hungry, disciplined and combative, though the Londoners' greater experience at this level should not be underestimated. Big absentees may again play a part in the outcome. Diego Simeone has to plan without his influential skipper Gabi, who is banned. The Spanish holding midfielder is one of three ever-presents for the Rojiblancos in this competition and the Mattress-makers generally lack experience such as his.
19:10. The game is poised at 0-0 and concern has been expressed at the lack of an away goal for the Blues. Ten semi-finals in the Champions League and Europa League/UEFA Cup over the past decade have been goalless after the first leg. Seven of those ties were won by the team playing the second leg at home. A look at those teams beaten by Chelsea in the knockout stages of the last three Champions Leagues: Napoli, Benfica, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and Paris Saint-Germain. The only club seen off by any other English side over the same period is Olympiacos.
19:07. Atletico's heaviest away defeat in the Champions League was at Stamford Bridge in the group stage in 2009. Chelsea knows any win will do, away goal or no away goal, in this Champions League semi-final second leg. Tonight's opponents, Atletico Madrid, are the only unbeaten side still left in the Champions League and have conceded just five times in 11 matches. The Blues are aiming to reach a third successive European final but have a patchy record of qualifying from just two of the previous six semi-finals in this competition.

Match Facts
19:04. Eden Hazard leads Chelsea in goals on the season and while he is injured and missed the Liverpool match, he may return for this Champions league encounter. Fernando Torres was the main striker for the Blues in the first leg and while he has had issues this season in the EPL, he is tied with two other players for the lead in Champions League goals for Chelsea this season. The Atletico defense has been stellar in Champions League play so far, conceding just five goals in 10 matches.
19:01. The Blues will be shorthanded in this match, as Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel are suspended and starting Petr Cech is out with an injury. Still, backup Mark Schwarzer had a clean sheet in the upset loss at Liverpool. Chelsea has to be confident after beating the Reds and playing to a draw in the Spanish Capital in the first leg.
18: 59. Diego Costa, who has scored seven Champions League goals this season, was thwarted in the first match and if the Spanish side is going to progress, he has to press the issue and pressure the Blues’ defense.
18:56. The Blues are unbeaten in their last 16 matches in the Champions League facing teams from Spain. If Chelsea wins, they will secure their third Champions League final in the last six years. In the first leg at Madrid, Chelsea played a defensive match, but it paid off. While their offense only had five shots, they secured the 0-0 draw, withstanding 25 Atletico shots.
18:53. Mourinho has made no secret of the fact that sealing a third Champions League success in his glittering managerial career has become his top priority, but he and his players will have taken considerable heart from Sunday's 2-0 victory over Liverpool which fired them back into the Premier League title race.
18:51. Effectiveness, efficiency, patience and alertness were virtues that paid off during the first leg and it will be very much interesting how Jose Mourinho and the gang would execute tonight’s game where they are expected to attack and defend as well. Goals will now be required on home soil and Chelsea have received positive news on the injury front ahead of a crucial clash, with influential figures such as John Terry, Samuel Eto'o and Eden Hazard ready to step back into the fold.
18:48. Chelsea host Atletico de Madrid at Stamford Bridge, West London with plenty to still play for as the 1st leg just seven days ago ended in a stalemate at the Vincente Calderon. Jose Mourinho faced criticism for his lack of adventure in Vicente Calderon, but a game plan which was designed to ensure that the Blues remained in the contest ahead of a return date in West London was executed perfectly.
18:45. Good evening and welcome to VAVEL's live coverage of the Champions League semifinal between Chelsea - Atletic0 Madrid. The match is being played at Stamford Bridge in West london.
