SPOTTED: Four Chelsea stars post Twitter selfie ahead of Champions League clash
CHELSEA team-mates Diego Costa, Oscar, Cesc Fabregas and Cesar Azpilicueta looked in high spirits on-route to their Champions League clash with Sporting Lisbon.
Off to Lisbon... Tomorrow @ChampionsLeague game! @cesc4official @oscar8 #DiegoCosta pic.twitter.com/205eGZnENn

Azpilicueta published the picture on his Twitter account with a comment reading: "Off to Lisbon... Tomorrow @ChampionsLeague game!"
The young Spaniard clearly enjoys a good relationship with his team-mates, and frequently uses his Twitter and Instagram account to post pictures of his Chelsea experiences.
However Didier Drogba was nowhere to be seen having not recovered from an ankle injury exacerbated during training.
Seems I came back too quickly from my ankle injury & have aggravated it further in training so won't be travelling with team today.....

The Blues trained at their Cobham training base on Monday morning before departing for Portugal without Drogba, whose absence was unexplained in the squad list posted on the Chelsea website.
Diego Costa travelled with manager Jose Mourinho hoping to field the striker despite his ongoing hamstring problems which had previously limited his involvement to one game a week.
He is still awaiting the first goal of his second spell at Stamford Bridge, but it will not come against Sporting on Tuesday night.
