Thomas Tuchel has insisted he can keep all of his four defensive midfielders happy amid intense competition for places at Chelsea.
Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic have emerged as new Blues boss Tuchel’s preferred “double-six” pairing at the base of midfield.
N’Golo Kante will press that duo hard though, as he fights for full sharpness after hamstring trouble, while Scotland Under-21 star Billy Gilmour needs matches to push his case for selection for the Euros.
