Thomas Tuchel has confirmed the Chelsea team news and has singled out three players that will not face Leeds United in the Premier League at Elland Road this afternoon (Sunday).

“Has issues with his knee, always a little bit of a reaction,” the Chelsea head coach said last week.
“We decided to take a step back and increase treatment time to reduce the stress that comes from training to have a normal reaction before we start again.”
Meanwhile, N’Golo Kante came off against Spurs with a hamstring problem and was assessed during the week.
Unfortunately for Chelsea, it’s bad news on both fronts. Kovacic remains sidelines for Leeds, while Kante is to be absent for several weeks.
“Quite serious (N’Golo Kante injury),” said Tuchel on Friday.
“We’re talking about weeks. Not good news. We are disappointed and sad because N’Golo is super important and super fit. He will be out for weeks.
“Same with Armando (Broja). He will be out for days. Cannot come with us to Leeds.
“Mateo Kovacic as well, still out with knee problems.
“Christian Pulisic had problems but trained today. Let’s see.”
