Chelsea FC XI vs Norwich: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest - Kai Havertz leads attack

Kai Havertz spearheads Chelsea’s attack against Norwich today after injuries to Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.

Havertz is flanked by Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi at Stamford Bridge, with Christian Pulisic still recovering from an ankle problem.

Lukaku twisted his ankle in Wednesday’s Champions League tie against Malmo, with initial fears that he could have suffered ligament damage.

Werner appeared to strain his hamstring and Thomas Tuchel revealed on Friday that both players would be sidelined for at least Chelsea’s next two matches against Norwich and Southampton.

The Blues make five changes in total to face Norwich, with England defender Reece James fit again and Trevoh Chalobah and Mateo Kovacic also returning to the starting XI, along with Havertz and Hudson-Odoi.
