Ghana\u2019s Baba Rahman is in line to get a place in Chelsea\u2019s team to face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League knockout stage first leg tie.<\/p>\n
The Ghanaian left-back will be up for selection after it emerged that Chelsea captain John Terry, did not travel with the Blues to Paris for the match on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Terry strained his hamstring against Newcastle in the Blues\u2019 5-1 on Saturday, but the post-match scans revealed that he would not be fit the Champions League match at the Parc Des Princes despite training with the team in London before they flew to Paris.<\/p>\n
Rahman\u2019s inclusion in the team is made very likely due to the long-term absence of Kurt Zouma.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are now left with Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic as options for central defence leaving Spanish player Cesar Azpilicueta and Baba Rahman as the main choices for the full-back areas.<\/p>\n
Rahman has played three times for Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League group stages this season.
