Mason Mount ‘to be DROPPED by Thomas Tuchel for his first game as Chelsea boss’

Mason Mount will reportedly be left out of Thomas Tuchel’s first starting XI as Chelsea boss for the visit of Wolves tonight. 

The Chelsea midfielder, who has started the club’s last 10 games, captained the side in Frank Lampard‘s final game in charge – the 3-1 win against Luton on Sunday in the FA Cup fourth round. 

But The Sun are reporting that the England international will be the first casualty of the Tuchel reign, as the ex-PSG boss readies himself for his first game in the Premier League, while Callum Hudson-Odoi will start.

The 20-year-old winger will start in an unusual right wing back role, say The Athletic, who are also reporting that German stars Antonio Rudiger, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner will all start tonight. 

The same report details that the former Borussia Dortmund coach will also set his team out with three-at-the-back, in a change from the norm.
