Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca says the likes of Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Levi Colwill have the "status" to play Champions League football.
The Italian is attempting to get Chelsea a place back at Europe's top table after two years of exile and qualify for the competition for the first time in the Todd Boehly-Clearlake era.
