Chelsea will be seeking a second successive win when they welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Last weekend, the Blues qualified for the FA Cup final, beating Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley.
Tuchel’s men could climb above Leicester City with a win tonight, as the race for Champions League places hots up.
Midfielder Mateo Kovacic will again be missing for Chelsea. The Croatian missed the City game through injury and will not make a return against Brighton.
Tuchel has confirmed that the Blues will have to manage Thiago Silva’s workload carefully after he went off at the weekend.
Andreas Christensen is likely to return after playing no part in the last two fixtures.
Full Chelsea squad available to face Brighton:
Goalkeepers: Edouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga & Willy Caballero.
Defenders: Reece James, Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, Thiago Silva, Kurt Zouma, Andreas Christensen, Ben Chilwell, Marcos Alonso & Emerson Palmieri.
Midfielders: Hakim Ziyech, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Billy Gilmour, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic & Faustino Anjorin.
