    Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is set to make his first Chelsea start of the season in Thursday’s Europa League Group L clash with Hungarian champions Vidi.

    Loftus-Cheek has overcome a shin problem, while winger Pedro (shoulder) and defender Antonio Rudiger (groin) are fit again.

    Head coach Maurizio Sarri is expected to make changes, with the likes of Gary Cahill, Andreas Christensen, Emerson Palmieri, Alvaro Morata and Cesc Fabregas likely to feature at some point.

    Provisional squad: Kepa, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Jorginho, Kante, Barkley, Hazard, Pedro, Moses, Kovacic, Giroud, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Morata, Luiz, Emerson Palmieri, Ampadu, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Bulka.
