Team News: Eden Hazard returns for Chelsea in Kiev

Eden Hazard is recalled to Jose Mourinho's starting XI for Chelsea's trip to face Dynamo Kiev in Champions League Group G.

Eden Hazard has been recalled to Jose Mourinho's starting XI for Chelsea's trip to face Dynamo Kiev in Champions League Group G this evening.

The Belgian, who has been shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or, comes into midfield in place of Pedro to play alongside Willian and Cesc Fabregas behind Diego Costa.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who started the 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday, is not in the squad at all, so Nemanja Matic returns to play in a deeper role in the centre alongside Ramires.

Meanwhile, Kurt Zouma has been shifted wide to right-back as Gary Cahill comes into central defence alongside captain John Terry, who keeps his place.

Baba Rahman drops to a bench which also includes Falcao and Oscar.

For the hosts, Artem Kravets starts in attack ahead of top scorer Andriy Yarmolenko, while Serhiy Rybalka is fit enough to take his place in midfield.

Dynamo Kiev: Shovkovsky; Danilo Silva, Khacheridi, Dragovic, Vida; Rybalka, Sydorchuk, Yarmolenko, Buyalskyi, Gonzalez; Kravets
Subs: Veloso, Antunes, Petrovic, Moraes, Garmash, Husyev, Rybka

Chelsea: Begovic; Zouma, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Diego Costa
Subs: Blackman, Baba, Mikel, Oscar, Traore, Kenedy, Falcao
