Chelsea’s crunch Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund has been delayed by 10 minutes to build the nerves on a crucial night for Graham Potter. The Blues must win by two goals to progress to the quarter-finals at Stamford Bridge against visitors enjoying a relentless winning run.

Chelsea’s European fate is hanging in the balance after a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at the Westfalenstadion in February.

And fans at Stamford Bridge could be in for a late night, especially if the second leg of the last-16 clash heads into extra time.

Chelsea vs Dortmund will now kick off at 8:10pm because the visitors’ team coach got stuck in London traffic on its way to Stamford Bridge.

Dortmund arrived at the stadium just after 7pm, with BT Sport mentioning that they had expected them earlier as Tuesday’s broadcast commenced.

Shortly after, UEFA confirmed that the game would get underway 10 minutes later than scheduled in an unwelcome bump in preparations for the night.
