Dynamo Kiev coach Sergei Rebrov has warned Chelsea that his side will target their ‘problems’ on Tuesday night.

Jose Mourinho’s men lost their last European outing away to FC Porto having defeated Maccabi Tel-Aviv 4-0 in their opening match, and the Blues travel to the Ukraine off the back of a much-needed when over Aston Villa at the weekend.

But former Tottenham striker Rebrov, who currently sit top of Group G with four points from their opening two games, hopes his side can pick themselves up quickly from their recent defeat to rivals Shakhtar Donetsk.

"I hope our players have recovered psychologically after the defeat by Shakhtar. We analysed our mistakes and I hope you'll see another team tomorrow," he told reporters.

"I'm glad we don't have much time to think about our misfortune. We have to switch to another very important match, and I cannot imagine what can motivate the players more than Chelsea in the Champions League.”

Mourinho refused to confirm whether Eden Hazard would return to his side after being left the bench against Aston Villa, while Loic Remy’s injury means the seemingly disgruntled Radamel Falcao will be named on the Blues bench.

Rebrov believes that Chelsea’s ‘problems’ can be exploited on home soil, and has called on his side to make things difficult for their opponents.

Dynamo Kiev vs Chelsea talking points

1/5

"We have to try and achieve the level of intensity they have in the Premier League. In England you don't have time to think on the pitch for two or three seconds. Chelsea are used to that while we seek to play like this.

"We have studied their game well and Chelsea have lots of good qualities but also have problems and we hope to build on this."
