The captain came in in place of Reece James, who Frank Lampard confirmed on Monday will miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.
The team was otherwise unchanged from the defeat to Real Madrid with N’Golo Kante and Conor Gallagher starting alongside each other in an advanced midfield pair.
For Brentford, Christian Norgaard dropped out after going off injured against Aston Villa and was replaced in midfield by Frank Onyeka.
