Mason Mount scored for Chelsea against Southampton
Mason Mount claims that the injury he suffered in the Southampton game won’t rule him out of the Atletico Madrid game (h/t Evening Standard).
The academy graduate was seen leaving the stadium with an ice-pack on his knee. However, with crucial games to come in the next few weeks, Mount has said that it is a minor issue and he will play the games.
“It’s just a little knock. Some bruising, but nothing can stop me.”
Mount single-handedly rescued a point for the Blues as they fell behind against Southampton after Takumi Minamino’s strike. Nonetheless, Mount won the penalty and converted it too. With two dropped points, Chelsea lost some footing in the top-four race as West Ham moved ahead.
Speaking of how things were progressing under new manager Thomas Tuchel, Mount said that the adaptation to a new coach and his philosophies isn’t straightforward but the team had adjusted to the situation well.
“It is always difficult for a new manager to come in halfway through a season with all the games we’ve had. I feel like all the boys have adapted really well to the style we’ve learned under him in a short period of time. It has been going well, we have big, big games coming up now and a tough period. We need to get back to winning ways.”
A crucial first leg round of 16 Champions League game awaits for Tuchel’s men as he takes charge of his new side for the first time in European competition. Post that, there are games against Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton.
