Thomas Tuchel’s full Chelsea squad for Zenit St Petersburg Champions League clash revealed

Chelsea conclude their Champions League group stage campaign on Wednesday evening as they take on Zenit St Petersburg.

The Blues have already booked their place in the next round of the competition following their win against Juventus last time out.

They now have the chance to rubber-stamp top spot in the group with yet another win in Russia, whilst a draw may also be enough should the Italian giants fail to overcome Malmo on the final matchday.

Whilst Thomas Tuchel will be confident of his side doing the job at the Gazprom Arena, the Blues do not actually come into the game in the best way.

They were on the wrong side of a 3-2 comeback scoreline at the London Stadium at the weekend, with West Ham sealing the three points courtesy of Arthur Masuaku’s bizarre late goal. The defeat saw Chelsea relinquish top spot in the Premier League for the first time in over two months.

Despite victory seemingly slipping through the Blues’ hands, there was yet more further damage at the London Stadium.

Both Marcos Alonso and Kai Havertz were withdrawn with respective problems and added to the already growing list of injuries at Stamford Bridge.

With that being said, football.london takes a look at the full Chelsea squad that Tuchel has at his disposal ahead of the trip to Russia.

Goalkeepers: Edouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Marcus Bettinelli

Defenders: Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen, Thiago Silva, Reece James, Cesar Azpilicueta, Malang Sarr

Midfielders: Saul Niguez, Ross Barkley, Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Lewis Baker

Forwards: Callum Hudson-Odoi, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku
