Chelsea wait on key pair

Chelsea pair Oscar and Daniel Sturridge will both be given late fitness tests ahead of Stoke's visit on Saturday.

Oscar impressed in the 2-2 draw with Juventus last time out as he fired the Blues into a 2-0 lead, only for the Italian champions to hit back to steal a point. However, the Brazilian suffered an ankle injury and had to be removed from the action early on Wednesday night. Oscar will now be assessed ahead of Stoke's visit on Saturday, with the forward expected to start if he is passed fit. Sturridge has a hamstring strain and is also considered a doubt for the tie with the Potters. The England international will also be assessed ahead of the fixture to decide whether he is fit enough to feature.
