Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino confirmed in a pre-match press conference ahead of the game. According to the Argentine, he can’t give an update on the French international until he is accessed one more time before the game.
“I don’t believe we can recover some players, still one training more. We need to assess tomorrow and then decide. They are close. Nkunku has trained and Lavia is also doing well. They are close to returning but we need to access them tomorrow and then decide whether they can feature. Maybe Lavia is the more difficult, but we need to assess Christoph for tomorrow.”
