The boss provided a latest fitness update at his customary pre-match press conference from Cobham following our final training session before the game, revealing also that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would not be fit enough to feature. Conor Gallagher is back after serving a one-game suspension at St Mary's, while James has recovered from illness and Chalobah is back from injury. N'Golo Kante remains sidelined but Mateo Kovacic could be in line for a start and Ruben Loftus-Cheek has recovered from a tight hamstring which forced him off against the Saints at half-time. https://i.imgur.com/UuoKAlY.jpg Mateo Kovacic in training this week 'They are back in training and both available,' he said of James and Kovacic. 'N'Golo is out but everybody else has been training.' Following the transfer deadline passing with the arrival of Aubameyang and Denis Zakaria on loan from Juventus, Tuchel is happy with the squad size but revealed that the new duo would not be involved against West Ham. 'We have a group of 19 players, then with Auba and Denis it will be 21 players plus goalkeepers,' he added. https://i.imgur.com/f2VFNIJ.jpg 'At the moment, Auba cannot train. We first have to make sure that he gets a mask to protect his jaw and then he can start trying with the mask from next week. 'Our latest news and understanding [on Zakaria] is that we need to have the work permit so he will not be in squad for Saturday. That is too close but maybe for Tuesday and then Fulham.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/ tuchel-discusses-dates-for-aubameyang-debut Tuchel discusses dates for Aubameyang debut 02 Sep 2022 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will not make his Chelsea debut against West Ham on Saturday afternoon but that day should not be far away predicts Thomas Tuchel. https://i.imgur.com/dJ3pZX8.jpg Unfortunately the striker signed for the Blues this week shortly after suffering a fractured jaw in a robbery at his home. While that rules Aubameyang out this weekend, there is a solution that hopefully allows him to play in the coming games and the player has travelled abroad to have that fitted. 'We try with a mask,' Tuchel reveals. 'It depends a little bit on what the specialists say who create the mask for him and then how he adapts to the mask. https://i.imgur.com/8GUxLme.jpg Aubameyang will join a list of Chelsea players who have worn protective masks previously 'Maybe it could be Tuesday [when Chelsea play in Zagreb] but this is very soon so maybe it is Fulham, maybe it is a week later. 'I think the very latest is after the international break but we try to push things and Auba is happy to push things. He is out there now at the specialist to get his mask done and then he tries I think Sunday in training.' -- When it comes to a crisis, still keep on running. You believe in power. It's mental power. --

Aubmeyang has gone to the same specialists that had Rudiger playing with a broken jaw in eight days and also fitted masks for Fabregas, Demba Ba and Fernando Torres. Also details in article of CFC previous interest in signing him, dating back to Saint Etienne days https://twitter.com/Matt_Law_DT/status/1565943993581568002 My holiday was great, thanks for asking. https://twitter.com/Matt_Law_DT/status/1565953233541111808 Because I have a family and my kids have to return to school. Apologies if spending time with them is more important than providing transfer updates. ※ 編輯: JamesCaesar (111.249.131.90 臺灣), 09/03/2022 20:33:11
