Chelsea are preparing to host Newcastle United in the Premier League on Monday, February 15. Ahead of the game, Thomas Tuchel is set to welcome Timo Werner back to squad as he was ruled out of the 1-0 win over Barnsley in the FA Cup 5th round.
Issuing an update on Wener, Tuchel said: "It should be absolutely okay for Timo Werner to come back."
Meanwhile, Tuchel has also provided an update on Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz. Havertz has missed the Blues last 3 games, while Silva has been out since the game against Tottenham.
"It's maybe too close for Kai, still, and for sure for Thiago," Tuchel confirmed. "For Thiago we are aiming for Southampton, we are trying, trying hard. Let's see if he can make it, we cannot promise."
