Team News: Trevoh Chalobah among Chelsea players to return for Leeds United game

Chalobah among Chelsea players to return for Leeds game

Defender Trevoh Chalobah is one of four changes made by Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel for Wednesday's Premier League game at Leeds United.

After Saturday's draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers and a FA Cup final against Liverpool to come at the weekend, Tuchel was always likely to shuffle his pack for the fixture at Elland Road.

However, the German has opted to make just the four alterations, two of them coming in defence with Chalobah and Andreas Christensen being handed recalls.

Jorginho has been deemed fit enough to return in the centre of the pitch, while Mason Mount is also included after remaining as an unused substitute versus Wolves.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Timo Werner are the players to drop down to the replacements for the contest in Yorkshire.

Despite words being exchanged with Tuchel at the weekend, Marcos Alonso starts at left wing-back, with Romelu Lukaku keeping his spot in the centre of the attack.

Leeds United: Meslier; Cooper, Koch, Llorente, Struijk, Phillips, Bate, Raphinha, Harrison, Rodrigo, James Subs: Klaesson, Firpo, Hjelde, Cresswell, Shackleton, Klick, Gray, Gelhardt, Greenwood

Chelsea: Mendy; Chalobah, Christensen, Rudiger; James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Pulisic, Lukaku, Mount Subs: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Sarr, Silva, Barkley, Loftus-Cheek, Havertz, Werner, Ziyech
