Full Chelsea squad revealed as Blues face Watford in final game of the season
Chelsea will play Watford at Stamford Bridge in their final game of the season on Sunday, with Champions League qualification already assured.
However, Last week, the Blues clinched a top-four spot after Arsenal lost back-to-back games against Tottenham and Newcastle. Despite returning to first-team training this week, Ben Chilwell will not play in the season’s final game and instead continue his recuperation from an anterior cruciate ligament injury that has kept him out since December last year.
Last week, Antonio Rudiger confirmed his departure from Chelsea at the end of the season, with the German defender allegedly likely to join Real Madrid. Andreas Christensen is unlikely to play again for Tuchel this season after withdrawing from the squad prior to the FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool last weekend.
On Thursday, Reece James picked up his eighth assist of the season as the Blues drew 1-1 with Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, with Marcos Alonso’s volleyed goal canceling out James Maddison’s opener.
