Samuel Eto'o scored the only goal of the Champions League last-16 second leg and the Italian side advanced 3-1 on aggregate.
The Brazilian returned from compassionate leave on Thursday, while fellow countryman Oscar has also been away following a family bereavement, but defender John Terry could return after another full week of training following an ankle injury.
Midfielder Cesc Fabregas and defender Branislav Ivanovic, who has a minor injury to an undisclosed muscle, are out.
Provisional squad: Courtois, Begovic, Alonso, Kante, Oscar, Hazard, Pedro, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Moses, Costa, Matic, Willian, Batshuayi, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Luiz, Eduardo, Aina.

Manchester United team news
Chris Smalling will be assessed ahead of the game after coming off at half-time in Thursday's Europa League victory over Fenerbahce due to what United have described as a minor muscular injury.
Playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan missed out on an eighth straight matchday squad but Mourinho claims he is 'very, very close' to a full return from a calf injury.
If Smalling is unavailable, Daley Blind is likely to shift into the centre but that will likely mean asking Luke Shaw to start at left-back just three days after playing 90 minutes on Thursday.
Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Valencia, Darmian, Bailly, Smalling, Fosu-Mensah, Blind, Shaw, Rojo, Herrera, Fellaini, Carrick, Schneiderlin, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Young, Depay, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rashford, Ibrahimovic, Rooney.
What the managers say
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte on struggling star Paul Pogba, whom he managed at Juventus: "He was born in England in a football aspect and he came back.
"A fantastic player. Coming back to United was his dream.
“I wish for him all the best, but only after the game.”
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: "When I played there with Inter, before that, I had never lost a match at Stamford Bridge because I had that [unbeaten] home record.
“Now, I lost already a few matches at the Bridge.
Chelsea captain John Terry has not played since September 11 but could return against Man Utd
