LONDON (Reuters) - Gary Cahill said he is "itching" to play in Chelsea's Champions League opener against Qarabag on Tuesday after a double dose of frustration for the England defender.

The club skipper is set to return at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday having been kicking his heels since being sent off 14 minutes into Chelsea's shock opening day Premier League defeat by Burnley, resulting in a three-match ban.
