Chelsea will face Juventus at Stamford Bridge tonight and Thomas Tuchel’s men will be looking forward to the game. Chelsea lost against Juventus in their last meeting, but I believe that things are going to be different tonight. In this article, I will be sharing with you the things you need to know ahead of the game tonight.
Injury
Update
1. Mateo Kovacic: the Croatian midfielder is yet to recover from
the injury that he suffered and he has been out. He will not be available for
selection against Juventus tonight. I believe that he will be back to training
this month or next month.
2. Timo Werner: the German forward has returned back from the
injury that he suffered and he is available for selection against Juventus. He
could start the game or come from the bench in the second half.
3. Romelu Lukaku: the Belgian forward has resumed training
and he is yet to play a game. Thomas Tuchel was not sure if Romelu Lukaku will
play, but it seems like the Belgian forward is fit to play.
4. Kai Havertz: the German midfielder has been ruled out of
the game against Juventus tonight. Kai Havertz is a doubt against Juventus due
to a hamstring problem.
Predicted XI
Match
Prediction (1-0)
In my own opinion, the goals will not be plenty, but Chelsea will
secure all the three points at Stamford bridge. Juventus has already qualified
for the next round and Thomas Tuchel and his men need to secure a point
tonight.
Two
Players That Could Start
1. Trevoh Chalobah: after his performance against Leicester City,
Tuchel could start the English youngster tonight.
2. Christian Pulisic: Kai Havertz is a doubt tonight and he could
be out. It’s going to be a wise decision if the manager starts Christian
Pulisic
