Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea's second choice left-back Ryan Bertrand, who has deputised for the injured Ashley Cole in recent games, has a virus and will miss the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Rubin Kazan on Thursday.
The European champions travel to Moscow to take on Rubin, hoping their 3-1 first leg advantage will be enough to take them into the semi-finals as they continue their push for trophies this season.
Netherlands youth international Nathan Ake, 18, is set to make his second start for the Londoners in the left-back position, having made his first-team debut in the league against Norwich City in December.
Bertrand was excellent in the first leg, having replaced Cole when the England international limped off injured after 21 minutes of the FA Cup quarter-final replay 1-0 win over Manchester United on April 1.
The holders face Manchester City in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday after their Europa League trip to Russia.
