 Terry should play on Wednesday, but Lampard remains out injured |
Chelsea took the unusual step of naming their side to face Slovakian champions Zilina 24 hours ahead of time.
Captain John Terry has recovered from a rib injury to take his place, while striker Daniel Sturridge is handed a start with Didier Drogba suspended.
Frank Lampard (hernia) misses out and Ashley Cole has been rested.
Slovakian champions Zilina have made it through three qualifying rounds to reach the group stage and their stadium has a capacity of just 12,000.
Chelsea keeper Petr Cech says the Blues, who have won their first four Premier League games this season, will not be taking them lightly.
"Zilina had to go through qualification and the fact they have made it into the group stages shows their quality," said Cech. "Underestimating any team in the Champions League can only damage you.

"Matches against Zilina will certainly have a special atmosphere. But at the moment I am most satisfied with our winning streak and with the fact we have been doing well as a team."
Zilina manager Pavel Hapal says they will not lie down against their more illustrious opponents and will try to win the game in front of their own fans.
"It's a great challenge for me and I'm really looking forward to it. On the other hand, we won't sell ourselves short," he said. "We want to show our supporters quality football and we'd like to get some points from our meeting with Chelsea.
"We respect our opponents; they're a really big club. Chelsea are obviously superior to us, but football is about 11 players playing against 11 players and we want to walk off with our heads high after the match."
The other two teams in Group F, Marseille and Spartak Moscow, face each other at the Stade Velodrome.
Chelsea team: Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Alex, Zhirkov, Essien, Benayoun, Mikel, Sturridge, Malouda, Anelka. Subs (from): Turnbull, Hilario, Ferreira, Ramires, Kalou, Kakuta, Van Aanholt, Bruma.
