BEN CHILWELL will be brought in from the cold to face League Two minnows Barrow tonight.
The Chelsea and England left-back has been frozen out by Blues boss Enzo Maresca so far this season.
But after the club failed to offload him last month, Chilwell, 27, was eventually included in their 25-man Premier League squad.
And yesterday Maresca confirmed the former Leicester man will be involved against a side who sit 64 places below Chelsea — along with Mykhailo Mudryk to form a left flank worth £110million.
He said: “Hopefully we can give him some minutes.
“While he is here he is one of the squad and is training.
“He was not in the team to face West Ham but he will be tomorrow.”
Maresca denied Mudryk, who has failed to live up to the £62m fee Chelsea paid for him in January last year, is struggling for confidence.
But he admitted the Ukrainian winger, 23, needs to improve.
He said: “I can see he has confidence. Misha is Misha and you have to accept what he is.
“Hopefully he can get minutes and do better.”
Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, Christopher Nkunku and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are also set to feature.
Maresca added: “Misha, like Benoit and all the other players not getting too many chances [will play].
"Tomorrow it is a good chance for them to get minutes and to hopefully win the game.”
