Mount, Kovacic, Christensen: Chelsea latest injury updates ahead of Arsenal

Chelsea are set to face Arsenal on Wednesday as the Premier League action continues. Ahead of the match here are the latest injury updates for the Blues. Mateo Kovacic was the only Chelsea star, who missed the trip to Manchester City through injury. Before the trip to City, Thomas Tuchel admitted that the Blues "hope" to have the midfielder back for the clash with Arsenal. "[Mateo] Kovacic is out but we hope to bring him back for Arsenal and then hopefully for Wembley," Tuchel said on Friday. "It will be tight for Arsenal, but for tomorrow he is out. Everyone else is ready." Andreas Christensen was subbed off at the Etihad Stadium in the closing stages of the first half clutching his hamstring. Despite that, Tuchel is hopeful that the defender will be sidelined for a matter of days, not weeks. "I hope it’s not too bad,” Tuchel told Chelsea TV after the game. "It’s more or less the same [injury] that he suffered some weeks ago around Porto games, I think, where we had to replace him. "It was a 50/50 decision today [Saturday] whether we wanted to put him on the pitch or not. I hope we did not make a mistake. Because he’s so crucial for us in the last weeks — so, so strong. "I hope we can escape with some days [of absence] and not weeks. But I’m not sure yet, I have no confirmation yet." Elsewhere, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount all look set to return after getting a rest last time out. Source- football.london Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
