Chelsea XI vs Wolves: Confirmed news of the team, anticipated formation, last list of injuries for Thomas Tuchel’s first game

A

The new era begins at Chelsea tonight, as Thomas Tuchel handles his first match, with the Wolves visiting Stamford Bridge.

All eyes will be on the first team you choose – and especially if Kai Havertz and Timo Werner get started.

The German was accused of being responsible for returning the form of the expensive duo – after Frank Lampard’s failure to get the best results, the summer signatures contributed to his dismissal on Monday.

Werner’s last significant act under the former manager was to miss a late penalty against Luton.

Both he and Havertz have given up key games in recent weeks as Chelsea’s form has waned.

N’Golo Kante is close to recovering from a hamstring injury, but may have to wait until Sunday for Burnley to return.

It will be fascinating to see how Tuchel handles Kepa Arrizabalaga, who will be allowed to leave this month after being replaced by Edouard Mendy as No1.

Likewise, the German international Antonio Rudiger – although he had returned to his favor before Lampard’s departure.
