Thomas Tuchel on Kovacic and his injury update
The Croatia midfielder had suffered a setback an injury and missed around 5 games so far, and could now be a doubt still for Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg against his former club Real Madrid.
“I love him,” Tuchel said in February when Chelsea experienced a brilliant unbeaten run on their watch.
“I can wake the man up at 3 in the morning and he will be ready in Cobham at 3.15.
“I need to calm the man in training so that he doesn’t work too much. He’s super-reliable. It’s a pleasure for him, Trivial insisted. He trained with us Tuchel confirmed, but he’s still not fully confident, he felt something at the end of training. So he’s not available, unfortunately. All the others are available except for Toni Rudiger, who got injured in the last minute of the Madrid game. Everybody else is available. Before training today we thought that Kova had a big chance to join us latest for Madrid, maybe even for today. So now we have a little setback, not a big one, with him,” he concluded.
