Enzo Maresca has made 10 changes to his Chelsea XI for Thursday's Conference League game against Heidenheim.
With a wide array of star players having not travelled to Germany, Maresca was always likely to heavily rotate his side as Chelsea look to record a fourth successive win in this competition.
The only player to retain his place from the team that started the Premier League encounter at Leicester City on Saturday afternoon is Benoit Badiashile.
Jadon Sancho makes his first Chelsea start since October 20, with Christopher Nkunku, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Marc Guiu forming the front four.
Cesare Casadei and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall feature in central midfield, with a senior defence including Axel Disasi at right-back.
Carney Chukwuemeka is back among the substitutes and will be hoping for game time in the second half, as will a number of academy players including Tyrique George.
