Thomas Tuchel provides N’Golo Kante and Jorginho injury news ahead of Chelsea vs Leeds

Posted by Naijanex on December 10, 2021 0

Chelsea Head Coach Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Italian Mid-fider jorginho will be fit enough to face Leeds United at the weekend.

The Italian midfield missed the game against Zenit Saint Petersburg due to back pain that was required to be managed in a busy Chelsea schedule.

Loftus-Cheek was also ruled out ahead of the clash with Zenit after suffering an injury in the warm up to the Champions League clash. The Blues boss omitted his name from the list of injured players he named but there wasn’t much good news on that front.

Tuchel was very matter of fact surrounding the current injury situation.

He said: “Trevoh Chalobah is still out, Mateo Kovacic is obviously out, N’Golo Kante out and Ben Chilwell.

“He [Jorginho] did the last two training sessions and I think he will do what he did the last games and play through pain and do what is needed to be on the pitch.”
