Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel may give a preseason chance to both Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tiemoue Bakayoko.

However, The Guardian - via the Express - states that youngster Billy Gilmour going on loan to further his development may open up a place for one or both of Loftus-Cheek and Bakayoko.
If one or both players impress in pre-season, the German coach may integrate them into the first team for the coming season.
However, it is possible Chelsea will use pre-season games to put the players in the shop window as they chase after other transfer targets.
