EPL: Tuchel reveals players that will be unavailable vs Man Utd

Chelsea will return to action this weekend in the EPL after an impressive performance vs Juventus in their mid week game in the UCL.

The Blues will host Man Utd at Stamford Bridge on Sunday but they would do this without some of their key players.

This comes as Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel in his pre-match statement on Friday revealed that Ben Chilwell and Mateo Kovacic, will not take part in the clash vs Man United.

Tuchel added that N’Golo Kante is a major doubt for the game as well.

Tuchel said, “Ben is out,’ stated the boss. ‘He has a partial injury of his ACL [anterior cruciate ligament] and the decision is to treat it conservatively.

“The next six weeks will tell the story if he makes it and will be fully available, or if he needs surgery after that.”

Tuchel added, “Kova is still out for the game on Sunday.

“N’Golo twisted his knee a little bit against Juventus. He feels quite better since the game but it seems like he will be out for some days or one week maybe. We have a little hope but it would be almost a miracle if he makes it to play against Man United.”
