Two ways Thomas Tuchel can line up Chelsea for Brentford clash amid Reece James injury boost

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has some big decisions to be made ahead of this afternoon's Premier League meeting with Brentford. The Blues will be determined to continue their recent momentum with the two-week international break now over.

In Friday afternoon's pre-match press conference, Tuchel confirmed Reece James is in contention to play as he has now recovered from a muscular injury. However, the Chelsea boss confirmed that Christian Pulisic is yet to train after returning from international duty with the USA, meaning the American could be missing this afternoon.

"For Christian, we have to decide. He didn't train today. We gave him a recovery session," Tuchel said on Friday. "He was here but very tired with the jet lag and time difference. So we have to figure out of it makes sense to play him tomorrow and for how many minutes."
