Thats what I read, but I just thought it was funny that the two teams playing each other had two players with the same names.

Why isn't Chelsea playing Drogba, Lampard or Essien? Injuries, cards or are they simply benched? You would think you play for the away goal, especially during a quarter final.

No idea, it looks like they're playing for the draw by fielding a weaker team. From a strategy standpoint it makes little sense to me but maybe they're sheltering the guys who played against Spurs on Saturday. Either way, which is more important, an away leg in the CL knowing that if you dont win King Roman will be sharpening his axe? But they also have to qualify again for next season's CL.
