Here are your Chelsea morning headlines for Monday, March 8.
AC Milan keen on Tomori
Chelsea centre-back Fikayo Tomori is currently on loan at Italian giants AC Milan and according to reports on sempremilan.com, the Rossoneri are "seriously considering" paying the £24.5 million it would require to sign the Englishman on a permanent deal.
Reports in the Italian newspaper il Corriere della Sera state that director and Milan legend Paolo Maldini has is keen on signing the player they describe as being "the only positive winter signing" for Milan.
It is believed there is an option-to-buy clause in Tomori's loan agreement from Chelsea that is set at €28m (£24.5m), although there are mixed reports over whether Milan are willing or able to pay that specific amount for the England international.
Tough call for Tuchel
Thomas Tuchel has so few injury worries in his Chelsea squad currently that it has thrown up another much more welcome issue: who to leave out.
Andreas Christensen has returned to the Chelsea line-up in the absence of Thiago Silva and has been one of the standout players in recent matches, including a man-of-the-match performance against Liverpool last time out.
With Silva returning from injury, Tuchel faces a tough decision about which central defenders to pick against Everton tonight.
Silva started Tuchel's first three matches in charge and the two have an excellent relationship following their two successful years in Paris together, yet the Dane would most certainly feel hard done by were he to miss out tonight.
The German manager faces other tough choices as well, Timo Werner played well but did not score v Liverpool, Olivier Giroud scored on his last start and Tammy Abraham is unlikely to be content sitting on the bench.

Early start for the Blues
Thomas Tuchel has claimed that the challenge of facing a team just one point below them in the league "Drives us, gets us out of bed early."
Speaking ahead of this evening clash with Everton the Chelsea manager praised former Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti and his Toffees, saying: "They have a very strong squad, very physical, full of talent.
"They have got strong strikers, a dangerous number ten in James (Rodriguez), strong experienced players, a super-strong manager at the sidelines."
The German added: ""Carlo knows how to keep momentum going, how to keep the flow going. It is good that these games are on and it is good that we have another big, big match."
