Chelsea handed major blow as player set to miss second leg vs Atletico Madrid

Chelsea handed major blow, as Mason Mount is set to miss Champions League second leg clash vs Atletico Madrid. The Blues recorded an essential win over Diego Simeone's side on Tuesday night, thanks to Olivier Giroud's goal in the 68th minute. However, the 22-year-old midfielder will miss the second leg tie on Wednesday, March 17, as he received his third yellow card of the Champions League campaign. Mount was booked after just 35 seconds and UEFA rules state that if a player is cautioned three times, then they will serve a one-match suspension. Jorginho will also be unavailable after the Italian was shown a yellow card in Bucharest. While Hakim Ziyech and Mateo Kovacic are one booking away from having to serve a one-game suspension.
