​Tuchel reveals Chelsea trio missed Southampton clash due to injury | OneFootball

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits he has some injury concerns in his squad as they prepare for a Premier League clash with Newcastle United at the weekend.

The Blues take on the Magpies on Saturday, following a tough penalty shoot out win in the Carabao Cup over Southampton.

Tuchel mentioned that he could not play Cesar Azpilicueta, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Andreas Christensen in that game, but that each of them should be available for the Newcastle game.

He told reporters: "We hope Azpi is back for the weekend. He had a shoulder injury yesterday in training when he fell on it. It's very painful but he's Azpi and he's a tough guy.

"Ruben felt after training some pain in his hip joint. Hopefully we can handle it for Saturday.

"Andreas needed to recover from tooth surgery and he should be back in training on Thursday if there are no complications."
