Carabao Cup: Tuchel gives injury update on Pulisic

Published

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has given an update on the American international Christian Pulisic’s injury.

Recall that Pulisic didn’t make an appearance for the Blues in their last Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Even though Pulisic was absent from the match, the Blues went on to win the match with a 3-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Pulisic had tested positive for COVID-19 and then got injured.

Chelsea will move on to play Aston Villa in the Carabao League on Tuesday.

Tuchel, in a recent statement, was quoted by Football London as saying: “The game against Aston Villa is maybe too close, I hope I am wrong.”

The Blues manager revealed he is not certain if Pulisic would be available for the match.

“This is my impression with him not in training so far. Let’s see tomorrow.

“Maybe he had a good progression today. Maybe it is possible. It would be super nice to have him, but it is doubtful,” he added.

Tuchel will likely rest many of his key players as he would likely need them for the game against Man City.
