Trevoh Chalobah is Chelsea’s present but also very much their future.
As one of just two centre-back options they have tied down beyond next summer, Thomas Tuchel knows Chalobah is one he can currently plan with long-term.
Tuchel has shown great faith in Chalobah with Tuesday the latest display as he handed him his first ever Champions League start against Juventus.
This was not a giveaway appearance in a meaningless game either.
The Italian giants are always significant opponents and Chelsea needed a positive result to guarantee their place in the last-16.
