Kai Havertz

Havertz missed training this week after suffering a hamstring injury. There was some debate in the build-up around who should start out of himself and Romelu Lukaku, but when he was nowhere to be seen as the line-ups were announced, it was assumed he was injured.

Expected return: Unknown

Timo Werner

Many supporters were left baffled as to why the German was not brought on during the 120 minutes of football. But Tuchel revealed in his post-match press conference that Werner had suffered a problem in the warm-up and was not used as a result.

What Tuchel said: “Timo was injured and uncomfortable during the warm-up and said he could not play.”

Expected return: Leicester (H) – May 19

Thiago Silva

Silva went down with an injury with just 15 minutes on the clock but carried on to finish the rest of the clash, although was not called upon to take a penalty. He did go down once again in the second half with cramp but once again soldiered on.

When asked about the fitness of the Brazilian, Tuchel was slightly evasive, instead crediting the team as a whole for playing through the pain barrier when required.

What Tuchel said: “It was clear we would suffer against this team and we managed to stay in the match because of an excellent goalkeeping performance, then we dug in and got better and better and created chances ourselves. Everyone is in pain, there is no way you play this game without pain.”JAMB Result
