Confirmed : Thomas Tuchel confirms 4 Chelsea stars will miss Wolves clash
Chelsea will be without four first-team
players for Saturday afternoon's Premier
League clash with Wolverhampton
Wanderers at Stamford Bridge.
Following a patchy run of form which has
seen the Blues pick up just four points
from a possible 12, Thomas Tuchel's side
will be desperate to ensure their qualification
for next season's Champions League.
Chelsea are currently third in the league
, just three points above Arsenal and five
points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham.
They will come into the game off the
back of a 1-0 defeat against relegation
-threatened Everton last time out.
In his pre-match press conference, Tuchel
gave an update on the injury status of his
players, including midfield duo N'Golo
Kante and Jorginho. He also provided an
update on long-term absentees Callum
Hudson-Odoi and Ben Chilwell.
The German boss said via Football.London:
"For N'Golo, it comes too early.
Jorgi is out. Callum is still out and
Ben Chilwell is out. That is pretty
much it."
Kante was absent for the defeat Godison
Park while Jorginho was brought off injured
at half-time in the clash. Hudson-Odoi is still
recovering from an Achilles injury he
suffered in March. An ACL injury has kept
Chilwell out since having surgery in December.
Tuchel calls for improved Chelsea
performances to secure top-four spot
The 48-year-old manager was furious with
his side following their defeat on Merseyside
last weekend. The Blues are now looking
over their shoulders to ensure their in-
form London rivals don't overtake them.
The upcoming contest will be a tough
test for Chelsea as they take on a Wolves
side that they have only beaten twice
in their previous seven meetings.
Asked why he believes his side have
dropped off in recent weeks, Tuchel said:
