Thomas Tuchel says Edouard Mendy will not play for Senegal this week because of a tooth problem.

The goalkeeper was missing for the Blues' FA Cup quarter-final victory over Sheffield United on Sunday.

Speaking after the game, Tuchel said: "Mendy will stay because he has an operation on his tooth.

"He needs to see the dentist because it needs to be done. It's why we do it now [so he can be back after the international break]."

Mendy will miss Senegal's matches against Congo and Eswatini.
