Team News: Bertrand Traore handed Chelsea start

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink hands a starting spot to Bertrand Traore for Tuesday's Premier League match away to Norwich City, while Kenedy also starts for the Blues.

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has handed a starting spot to Bertrand Traore for Tuesday's Premier League match away to Norwich City.

Traore, 20, comes into a Chelsea side that also includes young Brazilian Kenedy, who will seemingly operate at left-back.

John Obi Mikel, Baba Rahman, Pedro and Willian have all been omitted from the team that beat Southampton at the weekend, with Nemanja Matic and Oscar also returning to the XI.

There is also a spot on the Blues bench for Alexandre Pato, who has not yet represented the first team since joining in January.

As for Norwich, it appears that the Canaries will once again operate with a five-man defence. Ivo Pinto and Robbie Brady continue in the full-back positions, while Wes Hoolahan has shaken off a muscular problem to start in the final third.

A knee problem keeps Andre Wisdom on the sidelines, while Steven Naismith has also not made the squad.

Norwich City: Ruddy; Bennett, Martin, Klose; Pinto, Tettey, Howson, Brady; Redmond, Hoolahan, Jerome
Subs: Rudd, Mbokani, Jarvis, Dorrans, Mulumbu, Olsson, O'Neil

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ivanovic, Kenedy; Fabregas, Matic; Hazard, Oscar, Traore; Costa
Subs: Begovic, Baba Rahman, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Willian, Pato, Remy
