Rahman set to start for Chelsea against PSG

Ghana defender Baba Rahman is set to play for Chelsea tonight in the club's biggest game of the season when they host Paris Saint-Germain at Stamford Bridge in their Champions League last-16 second-leg.

Guus Hiddink will be without Kurt Zouma through injury while John Terry could also miss out after failing to fully recover from a hamstring injury that he sustained in the win over Newcastle United last month.

With Terry, still recovering from a hamstring problem and not yet ready to join the fray, Baba Rahman has the chance to start the game.

Branislav Ivanovic is likely to deputise in the absence of Terry which means Cesar Azpilicueta moving to replace Ivanovic at right-back with Rahman stepping in.

The British media has criticised the youngGhanaian player with the argument that the bottom line is that Baba isn t good enough for the Premier League yet, let alone to face Angel Di Maria in the Champions League; and that s a worry.

However the youngster proved his worth against the experienced Argentine by dominating him in the first leg of the clash in Paris.

The Blues have the chance to exact revenge on the French side for dumping them out of Europe's elite competition last year while progressing to the quarter-finals in the process.

Chelsea will certainly be confident of getting a result on home soil as they have an away goal to their advantage, but PSG will not prove such easy opposition as they lead the tie 2-1 and have only been beaten twice all season.
