John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, Diego Costa and Nemanja Matic set to be axed for Chelsea's Champions League tie with Maccabi Tel Aviv

John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic and Diego Costa are facing the axe for Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Manager Jose Mourinho is making sweeping changes to his team for their opening group game after their 3-1 defeat by Everton.

Midfielder Nemanja Matic is also expected to be dropped in favour of Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Oscar will return to play instead of Pedro and Loic Remy is poised to start. Radamel Falcao misses out because of injury.

New signing Baba Rahman is at left back, with Cesar Azpilicueta moving to his more orthodox position at right back at the expense of Ivanovic.

Mourinho said: ‘I will make a couple of changes because I have to try a different dynamic, I have to try a couple of different faces and to give chances to people who have not been playing but have been working hard.’
