Fear and anxiety had hit the Chelsea camp and their fans after it was confirmed on Sunday 23rd March that their number one goalkeeper Eduardo Mendy was injured and was to miss the UEFA Champions league finals.
Mendy, who left the Sunday
game verses Aston Villa at halftime, after sustaining an injury, was initially
feared that he won’t be available on Saturday when they face Manchester City in
the UEFA Finals. However, good news for both the fans and the club is that the
number one goalkeeper is already in the training camp.
Chelsea boss
Thomas Tuchel has told Bleacher Report Football that Mendy will be joining the
team in training on Wednesday, and that images from scan shows that his injury
is not serious.
Chelsea
Football Club will be facing Manchester City for the fourth time this season,
after meeting twice in the league and once in the FA cup semi finals. Chelsea
has won two of the past three meetings, and with Mendy back in goal, are
optimistic of winning the fourth meeting, which is the UCL finals.
It should be
remembered that Chelsea lost the FA Cup finals to Leicester City Football Club
after they employed the services of the second placed goalkeeper Kepa
Arizabalaga, who made serious blanders leading to their lose. The war of the
titans between the English heavyweights Chelsea and Manchester City will take
place on Saturday 29tg at 2200hrs EAT.
