Marc Guehi, Lewis Bate and Tino Livramento are among those who have or are set to depart Stamford Bridge this summer, so should fans be concerned?

When Thomas Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as Chelsea manager around six months ago, there were concerns raised by some supporters whether that would mark the end of the Blues' willingness to blood youngsters from their academy in the first team.

Lampard, of course, had overseen the a change in tact at Stamford Bridge, with the club's FIFA-imposed transfer ban in the summer of 2019 forcing them to look inwards for additions.

In came Mason Mount, Reece James, Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and - latterly - Billy Gilmour, while Callum Hudson-Odoi was also offered slightly more opportunities than had been available to him under Maurizio Sarri.
