Chelsea will welcome back 22-year-old Mason Mount for their Premier League clash against Leicester City after he missed England's games after undergoing surgery for a wisdom tooth infection.

Notably, Chelsea have played some of their best football with the England international on the pitch and he has become a key player for the side. Mount scored a hat trick in his last Premier League start for the club in their 7-0 demolition of Norwich City before being sidelined.

He is expected to start on the right of an attacking trident for Chelsea after his return to full fitness. The 22-year-old attacker is usually a bundle of energy and creativity for the side when he plays.


Left Wing Forward - Callum Hudson-Odoi

Winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is expected to start for Chelsea against Leicester City. He has made three consecutive Premier League starts in his preferred position for Chelsea for the first time under Thomas Tuchel.

The 21-year-old turned down an invitation from manager Lee Carsley to represent England's U21 national team in favor of remaining with his club to train and improve on his performances.

Hudson-Odoi has been a bright spark for Chelsea in recent weeks, having secured a starting berth in the absence of the regulars upfront. He scored his first Premier League goal of the season in their 7-0 drubbing of Norwich City. His combination play and understanding with Ben Chilwell has made them a formidable duo on the left flank for Chelsea in their recent Premier League matches.


Center Forward - Kai Havertz

Kai Havertz will continue to lead the line for Chelsea in the absence of Romelu Lukaku, who was reported as unfit by Thomas Tuchel in his press conference.

The 22-year-old German forward has indeed led the line admirably well for Chelsea in the Premier League, having scored in the draw against Burnley. He also won the penalty that gave Chelsea their third goal in their Premier League match against Newcastle United the previous week.

Havertz gave Chelsea quite the scare when he missed out on two training sessions for Germany and played no part in their 9-0 win over Liechtenstein due to injury.

The talented forward, however, returned with a goalscoring performance against Armenia days later to announce his return to full fitness and ease the worries of his manager Thomas Tuchel.
