Blow: Diego Costa came off with a muscle injury
Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are injury worries for Chelsea after the pair were withdrawn from the field during the Blues' clash with PSG.
Costa limped off midway through the second-half to be replaced by young striker Bertrand Traore.
The Spaniard had earlier scored to level the tie on the night after Adrien Rabiot's opener for the visitors.
His left-footed finish in the first-half was the standout moment of a fine display by the 27-year-old.
Hazard,
who was less impressive during his time on the field, signalled his
desire to come off with around 15 minutes of the second-half remaining
and was replaced by Oscar.

Worry: Eden Hazard was also withdrawn
By the time the Belgian was substituted the visitors had regained their lead courtesy of a Zlatan Ibrahimovic strike.
The
Swede's goal put PSG 2-1 up on the night and 4-2 up on aggregate,
leaving Chelsea needing to score three times to progress due to the away
goals rule.
Chelsea will be hopeful the injuries to Costa and
Hazard are not too serious with a tricky FA Cup quarter-final tie away
to Everton to come on Saturday.
