The new Blues boss has revealed how he plans to use N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour in the games to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Tuchel has opened up on his plans for N’Golo Kante,\u00a0<\/strong>Mason Mount<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong>Billy Gilmour<\/a>\u00a0after the trio missed out on starting his first game as\u00a0<\/strong>Chelsea<\/a>\u00a0manager.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kante has failed to appear in the Blues’ last five games due to a hamstring injury but is nearing a return to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And new boss Tuchel has big ideas about how he plans to use a player he has admitted to wanted to previously sign for Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“[I am] excited to work with him. He’s back training today and I think he’s the strongest in the heart of the game,” the German told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For me he’s best in a double ‘6’ and we can use his range of ability and skill to keep the ball and win it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He has big potential and is a world class player who played a crucial role in the World Cup win for France.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having grown into an influential figure under previous manager Frank Lampard, Mount was restricted to just seven minutes off the bench on Tuchel’s debut as Chelsea<\/a> coach – a 0-0 draw with Wolves on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promising midfielder Billy Gilmour<\/a>, meanwhile, was not included the matchday squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked about both players’ prospects, the new head coach replied: “I wanted to take the weight off their shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I wanted to give the responsibility in this special moment to a bit more experienced players and have them on hand. There is nothing to worry about, I like what I see from Mason so far. Such a nice and competitive guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Every game I have seen so far, Mason cares for Chelsea<\/a>, 100 per cent. This is the best basis for a big development. I am very happy to have him around, I will not stop pushing him and guiding him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For Billy, I have a good impression. He is a very strategic guy, very high level of game understanding, good in the first contact, clever positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We will see if he has the physical level. But he is super quick with his feet.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
