Luka Jovic headed the Bundesliga side into the lead at the Commerzbank-Arena, but Pedro's equaliser means the Blues have a valuable away goal and will progress with a 0-0 draw.

Match Preview

Chelsea look as though they will have to cope without key midfielder N'Golo Kante for the second leg after he was forced off with a hamstring injury against Watford.

Sarri said the France international is likely to miss Thursday's game and their final Premier League match against Leicester City:

Kante's absence will be a blow to Chelsea, but the World Cup winner has called on his side to finish their campaign strongly, per Goal's Nizaar Kinsella.

"At the end, we all want a good season and to finish well," he said. "So we hope we can get what we want on Thursday and go to the final. We want to qualify for the Champions League and get a trophy. It would be a great finish."

Sarri left star man Eden Hazard out of the starting XI for the first leg, but the Belgium international is likely to return on what may be his last appearance at Stamford Bridge for the club.

Hazard is keen to secure a summer move to Real Madrid and is considering handing in a transfer request, according to Mario Cortegana at AS.

Chelsea will also look to Olivier Giroud to provide the goals, and the French forward has been in superb form in the competition:

Yet Frankfurt have threats of their own through prolific striker Jovic and will also welcome Croatia international Ante Rebic back from suspension, although Sebastien Haller remains out with an abdominal injury:

Frankfurt come into the game fresh from a 6-1 thrashing by Bayer Leverkusen, although manager Adi Hutter did make four changes to his side to keep some of his players fresh for the second leg.

Sporting director Fredi Bobic tried to play down the defeat after the final whistle and highlighted Frankfurt's great form this season, per the Guardian's Andy Brassell.

"One mustn't forget that this is only our second defeat of the second half of the season," he said. "It means nothing for Thursday."

Frankfurt have the attacking power to cause Chelsea problems at Stamford Bridge, but the home side look the stronger side and will be expected to progress to a final against either Arsenal or Valencia.
