The German revealed that he could be without the services of midfielders Mateo Kovacic and N'Golo Kante and left-back Marcos Alonso for the game against Jesse Marsch's side. Kovacic and Kante have been ruled out of action this weekend due to knee and hamstring injuries, respectively. Meanwhile, Alonso has made himself unavailable for training in order to complete his move to Barcelona. Tuchel told Football.london: "[Kovacic] has issues with his knee, always a little bit of a reaction. We decided to take a step back and increase treatment time to reduce the stress that comes from training to have a normal reaction before we start again. Everybody else is available. "It seems another muscle injury, the hamstring. He [N'Golo Kante] said he feels it pretty strong. So no good news. He [Marcos Alonso] is not in training at the moment and trying to finalise his transfer, so he will not be available for the game."

The game ended with Tuchel and Antonio Conte being sent off after an altercation on the touchline. Chelsea's manager could face a lengthy ban after his comments on referee Anthony Taylor after the game, as per The Mirror.
