We’ve just started the second half at Molineux, and Chelsea have made a change.
The Blues are playing a makeshift team to begin with, and now things have got even stranger. Trevoh Chalobah was playing out of position in central midfield, fresh from his return from injury.
But he’s not emerged for the second half – instead Saul has come out to play in his place. We reckon it’s thanks to a collision Chalobah had with teammate Thiago Silva in the first half.
Looks to be for Trevoh Chalobah, who took a knock in the first half colliding with Thiago Silva. https://t.co/EM3gY2cMoA

The Spaniard has had an absolutely awful start to life in England, and this is a very difficult situation to put him into. The fact that he’s out there now shows just how desperate the Blues and their coach are right now.
Still, we’ve got to grin and bear it. There aren’t many other options available for Thomas Tuchel right now, and it’s better to have a fit Saul out there than an injured Chalobah – well, in theory.
