Team News: Frank Lampard, Samuel Eto'o return for Chelsea

Frank Lampard and Samuel Eto'o return to the Chelsea starting XI for tonight's Champions League tie against Galatasaray.

Frank Lampard and Samuel Eto'o have returned to the Chelsea starting lineup for tonight's second leg against Galatasaray in the Champions League last 16.

Lampard was on the bench for Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa in the Premier League, while Eto'o was left out of the squad completely.

Fernando Torres drops to the bench for the Blues this evening, but there is no place for the cup-tied Nemanja Matic.

Meanwhile, Didier Drogba starts up front for Galatasaray as he returns to Stamford Bridge for the first time since leaving Chelsea two years ago.

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Lampard, Willian; Oscar, Hazard, Eto'o
Subs: Schwarzer, David Luiz, Torres, Mikel, Schurrle, Ba, Kalas

Galatasaray: Muslera; Eboue, Semih, Chedjou, Telles; Yekta, Melo, Selcuk; Sneijder; Burak, Drogba
Subs: Ufuk, Burdisso, Ceyhun, Hajrovic, Umut, Hakan, Sabri Sarıoglu
