Chelsea’s form since losing Ben Chilwell and then Reece James to injuries has been rather stuttering to say the least.

They’ve gone from sitting on top of the league less than a few months ago to now being 13 points behind league leaders Manchester City after losing to them at the weekend.

Thomas Tuchel has struggled with injuries, Covid-19 cases, and fatigue in his squad and it has visibly had a big effect in more ways than one.

It’s stopped chemistry being built up between certain top performers in the squad and it has forced them to throw starting line ups together using lots of different players. This shows squad depth, but it stops a rapport being built between players.

Mason Mount has a great connection with Reece James especially, as well as Ben Chilwell, and Thomas Tuchel believes he has suffered a little since they both got injured and says that Mount misses James.

As reported by The Telegraph, Tuchel admitted that Mount had suffered from the absence of both wing-backs, James and Ben Chilwell. Asked if Chilwell’s season-ending injury had impacted Mount, Tuchel said: “Yes, that’s a good point. I think he’s also missing Reece James.”
