Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has included two youngsters – Jake Clarke-Salter and Kyle Scott – to his matchday squad against Atletico Madrid tomorrow night.
Clarke-Salter and Scott are likely to be used as back-up cover for defence and midfield, respectively, instead of making the starting line-up.

The two youngsters are still yet to make a Premier League appearance for the first team this season. Clarke-Salter, however, made his season’s first outing in the Blues shirt in Chelsea’s 5-1 win over Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup last week. Scott, aged 19, has so far been featuring for the Chelsea Development Squad in Premier League 2.
Chelsea will fly to Madrid tomorrow with the kick-off set at 19:45 on Atletico’s brand new stadium; Wanda Metropolitano.
