Reece James - Scores against Juventus James took five shots (three on target), sent in eight crosses (three accurate), created three chances and scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Juventus.

Impact James was one of top Chelsea performers in the rout as he had his way down the right flank, paced his side in shots and chances, and hit the net with a potent cross-shot. He has been a consistent weapon as of late, logging four goals, two assists, 16 chances created and 26 cosses in the last five starts. Chelsea will host Manchester United Sunday.

Jorginho - Logs five interceptions against Juventus Jorginho had five interceptions, won six duels and two of four tackles and created one scoring chance in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Juventus.

Impact Jorginho was a slight doubt after subbing off a little early in the previous match, but he had no lingering effects. He shined defensively in this one. He has tallied three goals, 13 chances created, 38 tackles and 23 interceptions in 16 matches. Chelsea will host Manchester United Sunday.

Ben Chilwell - Limps off in second half Chilwell was forced off with injury in the 71st minute of Tuesday's match against Juventus after compiling three shots and a cross.

Impact Chelsea were dominating Juve at the time of Chilwell's departure, so that was a bit of a sour note Tuesday. Chilwell has had foot issues previously and the hope is that that's not the case. He'll be considered a doubt for Sunday's match against Man United with Marcos Alonso an option to step into the XI.

N'Golo Kante - Leaves injured Tuesday Kante was forced off in the 38th minute of Tuesday's match against Juventus with an undisclosed injury.

Impact It's yet another injury for Kante, who maybe shouldn't have started twice on a short week. The midfielder has had constant issues in the early season and is now a doubt for Sunday's game against Man United with Ruben Loftus-Cheek an option to enter the XI in his place.

Romelu Lukaku - Makes bench Tuesday Lukaku (ankle) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Juventus.

Impact Lukaku is in the squad Tuesday, but there's a chance he isn't risked, especially if Chelsea don't need a goal late. Lukaku still isn't 100 percent, but it's good to see him available and if all goes well in the coming days, he could get the call for the XI Sunday against Manchester United.

Kai Havertz - Out against Juventus Havertz (hamstring) is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against Juventus.

Impact Havertz misses out Tuesday as expected, forcing a move to the XI for Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech. This doesn't seem like a major worry, but hamstring injuries are tricky, so Havertz's status will have to be monitored in the coming days.

Kai Havertz - Dealing with hamstring problem Havertz had one shot not on target before being subbed off in the 62nd minute of Saturday's match because of a hamstring issue, according to manager Thomas Tuchel. "He felt a bit o...

Impact There's a decent chance Havertz doesn't start Tuesday, which would force Chelsea to change their approach yet again with Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic options to enter the XI, while Timo Werner is also expected to be an option. Havertz has one goal in his last five starts, all in place of Romelu Lukaku.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jorginho - Good for Tuesday Jorginho was subbed off late in Saturday's win against Leicester City because of cramping, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.

Impact It's not a major worry for Jorginho and with a couple days of rest, he's expected to remain in the XI Tuesday against Juventus. The midfielder remains on PK duty, but he's totaled just two shots and four chances created in his last three starts in all competitions.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Romelu Lukaku - Unlikely for Juventus Lukaku (ankle) is unlikely to face Juventus on Tuesday, according to manager Thomas Tuchel. "I am not sure yet on Romelu. We have one more training, yesterday he was in team traini...

Impact This isn't too surprising for Lukaku, who only recently returned to training. He'll likely take his time in training this week and won't be pushed to play Tuesday. If he's available, he'll likely only be an option for a few minutes with a bigger eye on Sunday's game against Man United.
