Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to say that Hakim Ziyech’s injury vs Wolverhampton Wanderers is not very serious. He recently revealed that the forward only got hit on his calf, and was immediately removed as a precaution.
According to him, Chelsea keeps paying the price for non-postponement of matches, and all his midfielders have already suffered one way or another.
Tuchel added that the FA must know that they are putting a huge risk on the players physically amid the recent surge of coronavirus outbreak.
His words, “We can survive the game but at some point, we will pay the price, for sure. Maybe we already have with all our midfielders. Trevoh hopefully it’s just painful. At the moment it’s very painful. We still hope it’s not serious, but we need to wait for further examination.”
“Hakim [Ziyech] I don’t think it’s bad. He got hit on the nerve on his calf, and it was tight so we had to take him off.”
“I understand when they say we still have 14 players, but if you look in detail a bit more at who the 14 players are, you see Trevoh Chalobah with two training sessions, Mateo Kovacic with one training session, N’Golo Kante with one training session.”
“We were putting a huge risk on the players physically and because of Covid.”
“I cannot and will not comment on any other decision made from other games being postponed or not postponed. We never compared ourselves to any other situation, we were just worried about the safety of players.”
“The players were concerned about their health because we had several positive Covid tests in consecutive days.”
