Chelsea are missing several key stars for tonight’s Champions League trip to Malmo.

Mason Mount, Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner and Mateo Kovacic will all be absent as the Blues head to Sweden.

In a game that Chelsea are expected to win, Tuchel does have the chance to use his squad and keep players fresh for Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Burnley.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek comes in for Kovacic, with Trevoh Chalobah on the bench as Tuchel opts against resting either of Thiago Silva and Antonio Rudiger.

Christian Pulisic could play for the first time since the opening game of the season, after being named among the subs.

Kai Havertz is the only option at centre-forward, while Callum Hudson-Odoi could continue his recent run of game on the right.

Chelsea XI: Mendy; Christensen, Silva, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Alonso; Hudson-Odoi, Ziyech, Havertz.

Subs: Kepa, Betinelli, Chilwell, James, Chalobah, Sarr, Barkley, Saul, Pulisic, Vale.
