Arjen Robben will return to action tomorrow night against Barcelona in the crunch Champions League tie.

Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, Blues boss Jose Mourinho must decide how much of the game Robben will play.

Robben broke a bone in his left ankle five weeks' ago in the Premiership match against Blackburn Rovers.

"He has a chance to play, although not for 90 minutes and I don't want to put any pressure on him," Mourinho confirmed.

"If Arjen says after training that he is ready then that is great, but it could be too early for him.

"Arjen will definitely be ready for our next Premiership match against West Brom but I don't know about Barcelona," Mourinho added.

"We will have to see. He needs to be 100 per cent," he concluded.
