'Christian Pulisic is still out,' began Tuchel at his pre-match press conference. 'Mason Mount is also out as this game comes too soon for him, after picking up a minor injury from the Aston Villa match in midweek. 'He has made a big step in his recovery from that, huge progress, but unfortunately not enough to be involved because of the game coming earlier as a 12.30pm [kick-off] on Saturday. https://i.imgur.com/OWR5Df8.jpg 'Everyone else is fine and Edouard Mendy is fit from his injury. He is available and will start for us tomorrow.' Losing Mount is clearly a blow for the Blues, with the England international key part of Tuchel's plans, and our German boss has expressed the disappointment of both coach and player in this absence for such a huge game. 'Mason is very disappointed to miss out,' added Tuchel. 'It happened in the second half against Villa, he played through the injury and finished the game. He was even confident enough to take an important penalty, so it was a surprise to see him with this injury. https://i.imgur.com/wup7Gwb.jpg Mount impressed against Villa but injury rules him out this weekend 'The steps he is taking are huge and maybe if the game was one day later, then he could have played. It's a minor injury but there is disappointment for him and us because he is a player that we count on. 'But no matter the importance, no matter how we rely on him, the task is to find solutions without him and bring him back as soon as possible.' On tomorrow's game, much has been made of Tuchel's recent success over Pep Guardiola, but our boss was at pains to point out fixtures of this magnitude are won and lost on the pitch. 'It's not between me and him, it's not a tennis match or a chess match, it's between our teams who compete against each other on a very high level. https://i.imgur.com/gq3ppDR.jpg Guardiola and Tuchel in Porto 'Honestly the last three games I see three 50/50 matches, before and during the matches. It could have been any outcome. Once you have 50/50 matches, little details decide it. Small situations can give you the advantage. 'I expect nothing else than a 50/50 match tomorrow. We want to fight to have the better outcome. We have done it a few times, but we know how much we suffered in those matches, and we will have to do that tomorrow.' Tuchel was asked whether he and his team have the psychological advantage over Man City following that triumvirate of victories towards the end of the last season. 'We have the positive experiences, and we know how tough it feels at half-time in the dressing room,' he replied. 'You have to work hard for it and earn it. You need momentum and a bit of luck. https://i.imgur.com/6i3fhCW.jpg 'At this level we have the belief we can do it. We know what it takes to have the possibility to win. I have the feeling it does not take a miracle to win against Manchester City, but it's absolutely necessary we bring the best performance. 'It's one of the biggest tests in European football and we feel ready for it.' -- 當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中， 在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離 幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如 萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花 朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺 流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。 --
