Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has come out to
admit he’s worry over the absence of Mason Mount and Jorginho as they will be
hosting Atletico Madrid in Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night in the return leg
of UEFA Champions League round 16 ties.
Tuchel has encouraged his squad to step up and fill in the space of
the duo.
Mason Mount and Jorginho will be
serving their suspension after securing a 1-0 advantage in the first leg played
in Madrid.
Both Mount and Jorginho has been two of Tuchel best players
so far, having found the back of the net three times each.
Mount and Jorginho combine has scored six out of 13 goals
Chelsea has scored under Thomas Tuchel and this is no doubt their impact will
be feel.
The German boss will also be without his former PSG captain Thiago
Silva and Tammy Abraham in Wednesday Champions League clash, yet the blues has
enough squad to select from and the injuries will not be an issue but the Boss
noted that the absence of Jorginho and Mount is of greater concern.
What did Tuchel said when asked if he’s worry
over his two key players who will be out of Atletico Clash?
‘Yeah, a little bit, of cource, ‘
Two key players for us. Especially
Mason Mount for his offensive skills, his power offensive-wise to break the
lines with dribbling and shots.
“They were important players so far and we have a group
which we compete with in this competition and so now is the challenge to adapt
and find solutions because it’s obvious we need to play without those two guys.
What did Tuchel said about Thiago Silva and
Tammy Abraham?
‘We also need to play without Thiago Silva and also without
Tammy Abraham.
No more injuries, so we miss four players that make the
selection easy.
We have a clear idea of what we are to do and how we would
create chances. But we are aware that Atletico Madrid is a team that gives away the fewest chances.
‘it’s very likely we have to be calm and play with intensity
at the same time. Keeping this level constantly going is the key for tomorrow's
match.
