Vale in, no James: Chelsea confirm 22-man squad for Lille trip

Chelsea have named the 22-man travelling squad for Wednesday's clash against Lille.

It's notable that youngster Harvey Vale has made the squad while Saul and Barkley are absent.

Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ben Chilwell remain injured.

Azpilicueta is back in the squad after recovering from an injury.

Goalkeepers: Mendy, Kepa, Bettinelli

Defenders: Rudiger, Alonso, Christensen, Silva, Chalobah, Kenedy, Azpilicueta, Sarr

Midfielders: Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Vale

Forwards: Mount, Havertz, Lukaku, Pulisic, Werner, Ziyech.

Chelsea's official website also confirmed that the players have landed in France. At least Tuchel did not have to drive the bus all the way from London to Lille!
