Champions League: Tuchel confirms Chelsea squad for FC Porto clash

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has released a 23-man squad for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with FC Porto.

N’Golo Kante, Christian Pulisic and Tammy Abraham are all included.

There had been fitness doubts over the trio going into the quarter-final first leg, but the Tuchel confirmed all three would make up part of the squad.

“They are fit enough to be in the squad and will be in the squad,” Tuchel said on Abraham, Kante and Pulisic.

“Christian went out just before an injury could happen, he said it at half-time that if he continued there would be an injury coming so we took him off.

“Tammy is in the squad and N’Golo did a test and will be on the bench. He is comfortable to be on the bench.”

Chelsea’s 23-man Champions League squad: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Toni Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen, Jorginho, Thiago Silva, N’Golo Kante, Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, Willy Caballero, Kurt Zouma, Edouard Mendy, Mateo Kovacic, Olivier Giroud, Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech, Reece James, Cesar Azpilicueta, Kai Havertz, Emerson Palmieri.
