Chelsea's Benitez is likely to make changes for today's match, while defensive duo Gary Cahill (knee) and Ashley Cole (hamstring) both remain sidelined.
John Obi Mikel, Eden Hazard and Oscar could all be recalled, while Demba Ba may replace Fernando Torres up front, despite the Spaniard scoring against the Russian side. Long-term injury absentee Oriol Romeu (knee) remains out injured.
