As part of new security measures, Chelsea fans will face stringent checks ahead of their Champions League match this evening with Paris Saint Germain. Following terror attacks in the French capital last year, authorities are testing out measures ahead of Euro 2016 this summer. Chelsea will be without Captain John Terry who was injured in their Premier League win at Newcastle on the weekend. Brazilian Oscar is back in the squad following a calf injury, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva are available for PSG after being rested.
