Chelsea are 1-0 after the first leg in Germany, a match in which Potter’s side dominated but failed to make the most of a host of chances.
Raheem Sterling’s Champions League experience can be the difference for Chelsea when they face Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday, according to Graham Potter.
The Blues beat Leeds 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, their first victory since January 15, with Sterling’s direct running and deliveries from the left wing a key factor in transforming their forward play following defeats to Tottenham and Southampton. “He attacks the back line well. He’s still building up because of the hamstring problem he had. He’s getting stronger and stronger every minute. I thought he contributed really well, especially in the first half.
That would leave the manager with a central-defensive problem, with Thiago Silva out for around six weeks and Benoit Badiashile ineligible for the Champions League, although Reece James is likely to be available to play on the right after missing Saturday’s game with a tight hamstring.
