When asked about possible rotation against the Spireites, Tuchel said: “We have to find the balance in between because we want to be reliable and be also fair to the guys who play after injuries, after Covid - that they have a mix with guys that are used to have some more minutes in the last games.
"We need to find a good balance. We have five changes which gives us a lot of options which is good."
The German head coach continued to name drop Werner, who he believes needs game time after recovering from Covid-19 and playing 45 minutes against Tottenham Hotspur in midweek.

"Of course we want to use the match to get some minutes into the guys who desperately need it and want it like Timo for example," he continued.
"It is still a training, one or two Covid tests to do. Hopefully the situation stays like it is now. We will find a strong lineup to show respect to the team and club of Chesterfield. It is FA Cup. If you want to go to the next round you have to win this match, nothing else.”
