Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante will not be involved in the Champions League group match Wednesday at Juventus after testing Positive Covid-19, manager Thomas Tuchel said on Tuesday.
Kante’s positive test was another blow for Tuchel because the Premier League team was also without Pulisic Christian winger, Mason Mountain midfielder and returned to Reece James again due to injury.
Tuchel said he did not know how many of his players were vaccinated and even though he had taken Jab, he would not force others to do it.
“We are a reflection of the public, the players are adults and they have free choices.
We have to accept it, this is more or less I can say.
I know the situation is far from above …
it makes you very aware.
Not over,” said Tuchel to reporters.
“I am a soccer coach, I am a father in my family …
I have enough to do it.
I was not fully informed about any vaccination.” I was notified enough to make my own decision but I was not in a position to give recommendations in public, I would not do it.
“The team received by Tuchel will be more motivated to play Chelsea because they are European champions who survive but stopped to label the favorite degree.” I don’t think we are a favorite but we have shown the performance we can afford, “he said.” We must remain realistic and explain what we demand to ourselves.
The better we do this, the better our performance to recover under Massimiliano Allegri.
“Time will tell but it’s no secret that every team in the world without Cristiano is a weaker team because he’s one of the biggest …
they lost the big champion,” Tuchel added.
“But you can win the match and become a strong team without Cristiano.
They have a lot of experience, many talents, very experienced coaches.” They are a very proud club used to win.
They have a mentality formed by winning.
