Team News: Graham Potter recalls Chelsea stars for AC Milan fixture

Potter recalls Chelsea stars for AC Milan fixture

Head coach Graham Potter has recalled many of his Chelsea regulars for Tuesday's Champions League fixture against AC Milan.

With a double-header with Milan taking place either side of a Premier League match with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Potter opted to make sweeping changes to his team for the domestic game.

However, the Englishman has reverted to a similar side from the 3-0 win over the Italian giants last week, as well as sticking with the 3-4-2-1 formation which proved to be effective on that occasion.

Trevoh Chalobah replaced the injured Wesley Fofana during the first half of the victory at Stamford Bridge and continues on the right-hand side of a back three.

Thiago Silva has recovered from a cold to feature against his former club, but Jorginho has been preferred to Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the centre of midfield.

Ben Chilwell gets the nod over Marc Cucurella at left wing-back, while Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are recalled in the final third.

AC Milan: Tatarusanu; Kalulu, Gabbia, Tomori, Hernandez; Krunic, Bennacer, Tonali; Diaz, Giroud, Leao

Subs: Jungdal, Mirante; Ballo-Toure, Coubis, Dest; Pobega, Messias, Origi, Rebic

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga; Chalobah, Silva, Koulibaly; James, Kovacic, Jorginho, Chilwell; Mount, Sterling; Aubameyang

Subs: Bettinelli, Mendy, Azpilicueta, Cucurella, Zakaria, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Loftus-Cheek, Broja, Havertz, Pulisic
