Tuchel confirms return of Brazil star to Chelsea

The Blues coach Thomas Tuchel in a recent statement, has confirmed the return of Robert Kenedy to Stamford Bridge.

This comes after an earlier report had revealed that Kenedy had been recalled from his loan spell at Flamengo.

Chelsea have also confirmed the return of the Brazil international to the club.

Reacting to the latest development, Tuchel in a pre-match press conference on Friday revealed his excitement about the Brazilian’s return to the club.

“About bringing players back, it’s not only about the need but the possibility. We sent them out for a year, and they have a certain role at their clubs,” Tuchel said.

“Kenedy is back and I am very happy about it. It’s a huge opportunity for him to make his mark at this club and this team. We will try now, from today on, to push and support him.”

Kenedy’s return to Stamford Bridge comes at a time when the Blues are preparing for their next EPL clash vs league toppers Man City which is set to hold on Saturday.

The Brazil star could get a nod to start for the Blues or come in from the bench.
