Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says a second-half substitution for Mason Mount in victory over Fulham was a pre-match plan.
Chelsea cruised to a 2-0 win on Saturday.
Tuchel said, "He has the full package, mentally, physically and in terms of his talent and most importantly his character. Both his feet are on the ground and he is a nice guy. I get the feeling that he comes to Cobham every day to learn something, to get new experiences. He is a guy who can recover very fast, he is a very physical player, is fully adapted to Premier League football. He is full of self-confidence, but in a very positive way.
"So it's a pleasure to have him, a pleasure to be at his side to guide him and support him. It's impressive because he seems to be not affected by all the praise when he gets it, or the criticisms, and this is maybe the most important thing. He seems to me like a guy who likes the sport, who feels an obligation to make the most out of it and he absolutely wants every win badly. So it's a top mix.
"It was my decision to take him off. There was not any doctor or physio who told me to take him off. I saw him landing hard, but it was the moment anyway when we wanted to take him off if we had the chance, at around 70 minutes. So there was a bit of playing it safe with him, but I haven't been given any new information about a problem for him, so he should be fine for Wednesday."
