Injuries and Suspensions
Fluminense team news
Center-back Juan Pablo Freytes and midfielder Matheus Martinelli are both unavailable due to suspensions. Martinelli's absence might open up an opportunity for Hercules.
Captain Thiago Silva is likely to face his old club despite a nose injury, alongside Ignacio and Gabriel Fuentes in a back-three.
Up front, German Cano and Jhon Arias will once again lead the line for Fluminense.
Chelsea team news
Both Liam Delap and Levi Colwill received yellow cards in the quarter-final, meaning they will be suspended for Tuesday's game.
Joao Pedro, a recent signing who debuted in the last match, is a strong candidate to step in for Delap in attack. Tosin Adarabioyo could slot in for Colwill.
Captain Reece James sustained an injury during warm-ups and joins Romeo Lavia on the sidelines, while new arrival Jamie Gittens is ineligible for this game.
In the better news, Moises Caicedo is set to start after serving his one-match ban.
