Romelu Lukaku returns to the Chelsea starting lineup for Saturday's Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Romelu Lukaku has been handed a recall to the Chelsea starting lineup for Saturday's Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The club-record signing remained as an unused substitute as the Blues went down 1-0 at Everton last weekend, but Thomas Tuchel hinted at his pre-match press conference that the Belgian forward could come back into the fold.

Lukaku has been restored to the attack in place of Kai Havertz, and represents one of three alterations made by Tuchel for the meeting at Stamford Bridge.

Mason Mount has surprisingly dropped out of the team, his place being taken by Christian Pulisic, while Mateo Kovacic comes in for the injured Jorginho.

As for Wolves, the absent Bruno Lage has also made three alterations, the most notable being Raul Jimenez being recalled for Fabio Silva.

Jonny returns at right wing-back to replace the injured Nelson Semedo, with Pedro Neto getting the nod over Hwang Hee-chan.

Chelsea: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Rudiger; James, Loftus-Cheek, Kovacic, Alonso; Pulisic, Lukaku, Werner
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Chalobah, Christensen, Sarr, Barkley, Saul, Mount, Ziyech, Havertz

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa, Boly, Coady, Saiss, Jonny, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Ait-Nouri, Neto, Jimenez
Subs: Ruddy, Marcal, Hoever, Cundle, Trincao, Chiquinho, Toti, Silva, Hwang
