Chalobah is expected to be back in action after the upcoming mid-season break, while James is also closing in on a return.

But Tuchel will again be without Andreas Christensen for the Spurs game, while he continues to recover from a back injury.

The Chelsea manager refused to give too much away regarding James’ schedule when speaking on Friday, but admitted: “We have a time frame but we will not make it public because otherwise we will just get asked about the timescale.
