Midfielder and new duo only absentees for West Ham

02 SEP 22


Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah and new signing Wesley Fofana are available
for selection for this weekend's clash with West Ham...

Thomas Tuchel's side host the Hammers in another Saturday 3pm (UK)
kick-off at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues bidding to bounce back from
our midweek defeat at Southampton.


The boss provided a latest fitness update at his customary pre-match press
conference from Cobham following our final training session before the
game, revealing also that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would not be fit
enough to feature.


Conor Gallagher is back after serving a one-game suspension at St Mary's,
while James has recovered from illness and Chalobah is back from injury.


N'Golo Kante remains sidelined but Mateo Kovacic could be in line for a
start and Ruben Loftus-Cheek has recovered from a tight hamstring which
forced him off against the Saints at half-time.

'They are back in training and both available,' he said of James and
Kovacic. 'N'Golo is out but everybody else has been training.'


Following the transfer deadline passing with the arrival of Aubameyang and
Denis Zakaria on loan from Juventus, Tuchel is happy with the squad size
but revealed that the new duo would not be involved against West Ham.


'We have a group of 19 players, then with Auba and Denis it will be 21
players plus goalkeepers,' he added.

'At the moment, Auba cannot train. We first have to make sure that he gets
a mask to protect his jaw and then he can start trying with the mask from
next week.


'Our latest news and understanding [on Zakaria] is that we need to have
the work permit so he will not be in squad for Saturday. That is too close
but maybe for Tuesday and then Fulham.'

Tuchel discusses dates for Aubameyang debut

02 Sep 2022


Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will not make his Chelsea debut against West Ham
on Saturday afternoon but that day should not be far away predicts Thomas
Tuchel.

Unfortunately the striker signed for the Blues this week shortly after
suffering a fractured jaw in a robbery at his home. While that rules
Aubameyang out this weekend, there is a solution that hopefully allows him
to play in the coming games and the player has travelled abroad to have
that fitted.


'We try with a mask,' Tuchel reveals. 'It depends a little bit on what the
specialists say who create the mask for him and then how he adapts to the
mask.

masks previously


'Maybe it could be Tuesday [when Chelsea play in Zagreb] but this is very
soon so maybe it is Fulham, maybe it is a week later.


'I think the very latest is after the international break but we try to
push things and Auba is happy to push things. He is out there now at the
specialist to get his mask done and then he tries I think Sunday in
training.'
