EPL: Chelsea to be without this player vs Burnley

Chelsea will make a short trip to Turf Moor on Saturday to play against Burnley in the Premier League.

Ahead of the match, the Blues manager Thomas Tuchel said there are no injury worries in his squad, but their captain Cesar Azpilicueta may be unable to start.

‘We have no fresh injuries,’ stated Tuchel. ‘I still have to talk to the fitness coaches and the doctors after this press conference.

‘Azpi was not in training yesterday, so this will be a bit too close unfortunately for him.’

However, Chelsea have had some boost with Hakim Ziyech and Reece James looking stronger in recent days.

Meanwhile, some of those absent in midweek had returned and are likely to play against Burnley.

‘Hakim was in training yesterday and seems good so hopefully he can come back,’ added Tuchel. ‘Reece James also did training so no problems or reactions so far after his two matches.

‘The guys who were not with us in Luton Town because of minor injuries like Trevoh Chalobah and Thiago Silva were back in training yesterday and seem fine so good to go.’
