Ben Chilwell will feature in Chelsea's Premier League 2 clash with Fulham as the Blues name FOUR stars in their development squad... after Thomas Tuchel claimed the English left-back is lacking 'rhythm and intensity' early on this season

Ben Chilwell has been named in a Premier League 2 Chelsea XI to face Fulham at Kingsmeadow on Wednesday evening, alongside three of his senior team-mates.

Chilwell will be joined by fellow defenders Ethan Ampadu and Trevoh Chalobah and midfield summer signing Carney Chukwuemeka in facing Fulham's development squad as he continues to find fitness following a long injury lay off.

Tuchel has previously claimed that his left-back is not yet ready for the intensity of the Premier League, and his place in the starting line-up has been usurped temporarily by Marc Cucurella.
