The Stamford Bridge doctors are still working overtime on a number of players, with Armando Broja, Edouard Mendy, Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva all expected to miss out, but ex-Dortmund man Christian Pulisic, N'Golo Kante and Reece James could both apply for places in the squad.
Mason Mount, who missed the win over Leeds with an abdominal problem, will sit on the naughty step for the second leg - having incurred a one-game European ban for yellow card accumulation - and Potter may see no need to stray from the 3-4-3 setup from the weekend's success, but Trevoh Chalobah would be required to step in for the ineligible Benoit Badiashile in that case.
James's expected return from hamstring tightness should see Ruben Loftus-Cheek drop down to the bench, and Potter will likely continue to keep faith with the misfiring Kai Havertz, whose deputy Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang memorably did not make the squad for the knockout stages.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Chalobah, Koulibaly, Fofana; James, Kovacic, Fernandez, Chilwell; Sterling, Havertz, Felix
Borussia Dorrtmund
Dortmund boss Edin Terzic also has a suspended player in his ranks in the form of right-back Julian Ryerson, but Marius Wolf was always going to get the nod here, and since scoring the winner in the first leg, Adeyemi has sustained a thigh injury and will play no part in Tuesday's game.
Adeyemi's fellow attacking protege Youssoufa Moukoko is also out of contention alongside Mateu Morey, Abdoulaye Kamara, Donyell Malen and Julien Duranville, and a question mark is hanging over the head of first-choice goalkeeper Kobel, who had to drop out of the first XI against Leipzig due to a thigh complaint.
A comeback on Tuesday for Kobel has not been ruled out, but Alexander Meyer should still deputise in goal, while testicular cancer survivor Sebastien Haller will operate at the tip of the attack for Terzic's men.
Borussia Dortmund possible starting lineup:
Meyer; Wolf, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro ; Ozcan, Can, Bellingham; Brandt, Haller, Reus
Prediction: Chelsea 0-0 Borussia Dortmund (Dortmund win 1-0 on aggregate)
