Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard missed Chelsea's open training session on the eve of the Champions League semi-final first leg at Atletico Madrid
Chelsea trained at their Surrey headquarters before travelling to the Spanish capital, but Hazard was absent, the club's official website reported
Petr Cech, who missed Saturday's volatile Premier League home loss to Sunderland through illness, trained as normal
Hazard suffered a calf injury in the second-leg defeat of Paris St Germain two weeks ago, which secured a seventh semi-final appearance in 11 seasons for the 2012 European Cup winners
Yet he could be risked at the Estadio Vicente Calderon on Tuesday evening after Chelsea's Premier League title challenge unravelled and boss Jose Mourinho saw his 77-match unbeaten home league run end on Saturday as Europe represents the Blues' best chance at glory this term
Branislav Ivanovic is suspended, meaning Cesar Azpilicueta could be switched from left-back to right-back and Ashley Cole could return
Alternatively, David Luiz could be fielded at right-back, leaving Azpilicueta on the left and Cole in the margins
Striker Fernando Torres could feature against his former club, if selected ahead of Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba
Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah are ineligible, having played for Benfica and Basle, respectively, earlier in the competition
Mourinho is returning to Madrid, where he spent three tempestuous years as Real manager
He is bidding to win the Champions League for a third time after successes in 2004 with Porto and in 2010 with Inter Milan
