Thomas Tuchel has explained why the five Chelsea youngsters who trained with the first-team squad this week will not feature against Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fourth round.
The League One side travel to Stamford Bridge this afternoon looking to claim a famous result. Yet their task has been made harder by Tuchel's decision to go with a strong side for the contest.
Ben Chilwell will be absent due to his season-ending knee injury while Reece James is not yet ready to return from his torn hamstring. Ruben Loftus-Cheek will miss the contest due to a minor issue, meanwhile, Thiago Silva and Christian Pulisic have the game off having been on international duty.
