Havertz and Zouma likely to miss Spurs game

By

Kai Havertz and Kurt Zouma picked up injuries in training on Wednesday.

Both players hobbled out of the session and seem unlikely to be in Chelsea’s squad for the derby against Tottenham.


Havertz (pictured) has struggled for fitness and form – particularly since contracting Covid-19.

Defender Zouma recently lost his place in the side to Antonio Rudiger.

“We had two little issues today on the training pitch,” Blues boss Thomas Tuchel revealed.

“Kurt Zouma and Kai Havertz went off the pitch with little issues.

“They (Chelsea’s medical staff) are checking now. They are doing images right now. It’s questionable if they are in the squad tomorrow.”

Hakim Ziyech, who was rested for the win against Burnley, is expected to return to the squad.
