Chelsea injury doubts vs Leicester City

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has made known his side injury doubts ahead of their next game vs Leicester City in the EPL.

The Blues will on Thursday night host the Foxes at Stamford Bridge for the penultimate league game of the season.

Chelsea have already secured a spot at the third place on the log and have also qualified for next season’s UCL.

Tuchel in a pre-match statement said his side was going into the match with jury issues following Saturday’s FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool on penalties.

Andreas Christensen was unavailable for the final against the Reds because of illness and is expected to miss the match against the Foxes

Mateo Kovacic is also in doubt after sustaining an ankle injury at Wembley.

Tuchel is hoping Kai Havertz will be available while Timo Werner, is ruled out completely.

‘With Andreas, I’m not sure yet if he’s going to be involved tomorrow or even at the weekend,’ Thomas said.

‘Andreas came [to me] on the morning of the cup final and told me he was not ready for the match. He had his reasons, they will stay private and confidential, but it was not the first time.

‘It was very short notice before the cup final and even with other matches in the weeks before. He retains our support but it is probably unlikely [that he plays against Leicester]. But I have no prediction for tomorrow or the weekend.

‘Kai will try in training today. He was in individual training yesterday rather than with the team so there’s still a big question mark over him for tomorrow.

‘Timo is out with a hamstring problem. Kova had a big swollen ankle after the match and he did not train yesterday so it is unlikely he will be available tomorrow.’
