Confirmed Chelsea line up vs Barcelona | News | Official Site | Chelsea Football Club
For the Champions League semi-final first leg in Spain, Emma Hayes makes five changes to the side that played in the WSL midweek.
The defence is the same as the one that kept a clean sheet against Aston Villa in that outing.
Mayra Ramirez returns today to lead the attack and is joined by Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Lauren James, who has overcome the injury that kept her out on Wednesday.
Sjoeke Nusken retains her place and Erin Cuthbert and Melanie Leupolz are back in midfield. Cuthbert skippers the side.
Club captain Millie Bright is named among the substitutes. She has been out of action since suffering a knee injury in the Champions League away game against Real Madrid back in November.
Barcelona show three changes from their quarter-final second leg win over Hacken. Lucy Bronze is named on their bench.
