Kante, 29, has made just two substitute appearances since Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as Chelsea manager last month, but he will start in Thursday's FA Cup fifth-round tie at Championship side Barnsley. "To see the guy live, to see how he works, how humble he is, the quality he gives to the team. I am so humbled to be his coach. He will start tomorrow.

Thursday's game will provide Tuchel with his first taste of the FA Cup but the German is already aware of the competition's significance.
