Edouard Mendy and Mason Mount both return to the Chelsea starting lineup for Saturday's Club World Cup final against Palmeiras.

Edouard Mendy and Mason Mount both return to the Chelsea starting lineup for Saturday's Club World Cup final against Palmeiras.

Goalkeeper Mendy has been absent since the start of January courtesy of representing Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Mount was only selected among the replacements for the game with Al-Hilal due to a minor doubt over his fitness.

However, both players have been restored to the first XI by Thomas Tuchel, who arrived in Abu Dhabi on Friday after testing negative for coronavirus.

Tuchel has made a total of four alterations to the team which started Wednesday's semi-final, also bringing N'Golo Kante and Callum Hudson-Odoi into the side.

Kante is a straight replacement for Jorginho in the middle of the pitch, with Hudson-Odoi surprisingly being named ahead of Marcos Alonso at left wing-back.

Hakim Ziyech, as well as Kepa Arrizabalaga, have also dropped down to the substitutes' bench.

Chelsea: Mendy; Christensen, Thiago Silva, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Kante, Kovacic, Hudson-Odoi; Mount, Havertz, Lukaku
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Bettinelli, Alonso, Chalobah, Sarr, Jorginho, Saul, Barkley, Kenedy, Ziyech, Werner, Pulisic

Palmeiras: Weverton; Rocha, Gomez, Luan, Piquerez; Danilo, Ze Rafael; Dudu, Veiga, Scarpa; Rony
Subs: Benjamin, Jorge, Wesley, Mayke, Deyverson, Lopes, Atuesta, Cerquiera, Navarro, Jailson, Mateus, Marcelo
