Chelsea without three key players for Huddersfield visit

Eden Hazard, Olivier Giroud and Thibaut Courtois are all absent from Chelsea’s starting line-up for Wednesday evening’s visit of Huddersfield Town.

Hazard and Giroud are both on the bench, while Courtois isn’t in the 18-man squad at all due to a back injury, with Blues boss Antonio Conte drafting Willy Caballero in instead.
