However, striker Fernando Torres was included in the 21-man squad after sitting out Chelsea&rsquo;s last three games with an adductor muscle injury. <img alt="David Luiz" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/David-Luiz.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 612px;" /> David Luiz &ldquo;Torres has recovered from the adductor muscle injury which kept him out of the last three games but David Luiz has a bruised patella,&rdquo; read a statement on the Chelsea website. &ldquo;He will be out for approximately one week, joining Marco van Ginkel as the only player missing from the squad list for the competition announced in September.&rdquo; Luiz&rsquo;s absence means that John Terry and Gary Cahill are likely to continue in central defence, having played alongside each other in Saturday&rsquo;s 3-0 win at West Ham United. Chelsea lost at home to Basel in their opening Group E game, but they can secure a place in the last 16 with a draw at St Jakob-Park Stadium.u00a0
