How Chelsea could line up against Wolverhampton Wanderers

Chelsea head into Sunday's Premier League fixture at Wolverhampton Wanderers knowing that several of their attacking players will be sidelined due to coronavirus.

Ahead of the game with Everton earlier this week, it was revealed that Ben Chilwell, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku had all returned positive tests.

Kai Havertz is currently in contention for the trip to Molineux and will feature in the squad should he not return a positive test on Saturday.

While the front three could remain the same, Tuchel has leeway to freshen up other areas of the pitch now that Trevoh Chalobah and N'Golo Kante have returned from hamstring and knee injuries respectively.

Chalobah could be preferred to Cesar Azpilicueta on the right-hand side of the back three, while Kante's availability may lead to a rest for either Jorginho or Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who were both described as doubts in Friday's press conference.

Andreas Christensen is also an alternative to Thiago Silva, but the likely cancellation of Wednesday's EFL Cup tie at Brentford may result in Tuchel sticking with the veteran Brazilian.

The likes of Saul Niguez and Ross Barkley did not do enough during their substitute appearances against Everton to warrant selection on Sunday.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Mendy; Chalobah, Silva, Rudiger; James, Kante, Jorginho, Alonso; Mount, Ziyech, Pulisic body check tags ::
