Tuchel might welcome back the trio of Cesar Azpilicueta, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Andreas Christensen when they take on Newcastle United this weekend.
The three were not part of the team when they took on Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night due to different reasons.
Azpilicueta missed the encounter with a shoulder injury while Loftus-Cheek had a hip complaint. Christensen was absent yesterday after a tooth surgery but is expected to be back in training on Thursday.
“We hope Azpi is back for the weekend. He had a shoulder injury yesterday in training when he fell on it. It’s very painful but he’s Azpi and he’s a tough guy. Ruben felt after training some pain in his hip joint. Hopefully, we can handle it for Saturday.
