(Reuters) - Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will take a late call on including striker Romelu Lukaku for their Champions League group game with Juventus, but said on Monday that midfielder Jorginho was fit after coming off against Leicester City at the weekend.

Lukaku has not featured since injuring his ankle in their 4-0 win against Malmo last month, but was expected to return to action against the Italians on Tuesday.
