Thibaut Courtois will NOT play against his parent club Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final, according to reports in Spain. The Blues will take on Atletico Madrid later this month for a place in the final in Lisbon in May. And according to Marca, the Belgian stopper won't go up against his parent club - as Diego Simeone wants to keep him on loan next season. Courtois has been a major reason for Atletico's rise this season, and was again in outstanding form as Los Rojiblancos saw off Barcelona in their quarter-final clash this week. Now he could stand in the way of his parent club, after UEFA declared that any clause denying him the opportunity to play in the semi-final was “null, void and unenforceable” . Publicly Chelsea have stated that they are prepared for the young keeper to play, with chief executive Ron Gourlay stating: “As far as the player is concerned, Thibaut, he can play against Chelsea, in both ties, if he is selected...That is fact.” But behind the scenes they are known to be furious that the clause inserted in Courtois' deal in the Spanish capital at the start of his third loan spell has been overruled by UEFA.

The Premier League is likely to move Chelsea's potential Premier League title decider with Liverpool later this month after the Londoners's progress into the Champions League semi-finals throw up a fixture nightmare. The first leg of the Champions League semi-final is due to be played in less than a fortnight. Ahead of the second leg, they are due at Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday April 27, although this could now take place on April 26. Chelsea will play one of their semi-final games on a Tuesday and one on a Wednesday. The draw for the semi-finals will take place on Friday. The Premier League will ensure that they do not have to play on a Sunday and then 48 hours later on a Tuesday, meaning the match with Sunderland on April 20 could also be moved forward a day.

This week sees our Under-18s return to FA Youth Cup action at Stamford Bridge as they host Arsenal in the semi-final first leg on Thursday. Tickets must be bought in advance of the game and are available to purchase online and over the telephone until tomorrow [Tuesday], priced at £5 for adults and £3 for concessions. After that supporters will be able to purchase in person at the box office until 4pm on the day of the match.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho on drawing Manchester City away in the last-16 of the FA Cup: "No problem. If you want to be the best then you have to play the best, so it's good for us. One team is the end product. One team needs to improve and has a long way to go."
