Thomas Tuchel has said Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could make his Chelsea debut against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night and that the former Arsenal captain is “hungry” to play for his new club. The Gabon striker, who left Arsenal for Barcelona in February after being stripped of the captaincy by Mikel Arteta, is set to wear a protective face mask in the Champions League tie in Croatia after suffering a broken jaw last month.
Aubameyang completed a £10m move to Chelsea on deadline day and was expected to be not be available for several weeks. But Tuchel confirmed on Monday that the 33-year-old is a contender for the bench against Dinamo.
