Fenerbahce v CHELSEA: Malouda back from the dead

Florent Malouda's Chelsea career will be reborn tonight when he starts his first game for the Blues for nearly a month.

• Champions League quarter-finals build-up

The France winger, who played a key role in England's 1-0 loss in Paris last week, paid the price for Chelsea's humbling FA Cup exit at Barnsley last month and has not featured in Avram Grant's first team since that defeat.

But Sportsmail online understands that the 27-year-old is set to join Didier Drogba and Joe Cole in a three-pronged attack in Chelsea's Champions League quarter-final first leg at Fenerbahce tonight after impressing Grant with his display against David Beckham at the Stade de France last Wednesday.

CHELSEA (4-3-3): Cudicini; Essien, Carvalho, Terry, A Cole; Makelele, Lampard, allack; J Cole, Drogba, Malouda.
