Thomas Tuchel gives latest Chelsea team news ahead of Tottenham Hotspur clash in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

Thomas Tuchel provides injury update on Thiago Silva

Thomas Tuchel has provided an update on Thiago Silva and his injury ahead of the Manchester United game (h/t Metro). The defender is expected to miss the high-profile clash but could return to training next week as told by the manager.

The former PSG man was taken off in the Tottenham game with a thigh issue and has been an absentee since. Silva joined the club in the summer and has become a vital member of the side in defence.

Tuchel spoke about Silva ahead of the crucial game in the race for top-four.

‘No more injury concerns [in the rest of the squad] and no Thiago cannot play on Sunday,’ said Tuchel on Friday. ‘He did an individual session today but a session on the pitch and felt it was a big progress, a big step ahead for him ‘So I hope he will join the group next week.’

The veteran Brazilian is surely going to be a huge miss for this game given his ability and experience. Nonetheless, Tuchel will likely choose between the likes of Rudiger, Zouma, Azpilicueta and Christensen.
