London (AP) - The German national soccer players Antonio Rüdiger, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner are in the starting line-up of Chelsea FC for the semi-final second leg of the Champions League against Real Madrid.

Coach Thomas Tuchel nominated the DFB trio for the game at London's Stamford Bridge from the start.

Toni Kroos is in the starting line-up for the guests from Spain.

In addition, captain and defense chief Sergio Ramos, who tested positive for the corona virus three weeks ago and missed 1-1 in the first leg, is returning to coach Zinedine Zidane's team.

Havertz had only a short stint in the first leg, but recommended himself to the starting line-up with two goals in the 2-0 league win over Fulham at the weekend.

Werner, who had missed a big chance against Madrid, shone against Fulham as a template provider.
