Thomas Tuchel confirms double Chelsea injury boost and major blows ahead of Manchester United

Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that Antonio Rudiger and Reece James trained for Chelsea on Tuesday ahead of this week's clash with Manchester United. James missed the win against West Ham United at the weekend with a recurring injury problem. Meanwhile, Rudiger has been missing since the FA Cup semi-final win against Crystal Palace recently.

The Blues head coach, while revealing the positive news about Rudiger and James, also confirmed that Mateo Kovacic is still not ready to return to action. "Kova will still be out, and Ben Chilwell will still be out. Callum still out," Tuchel said.

"Toni & Reece James in training. We have another training, so hopefully, they can give us the green light. Same with Andreas, as he felt sick. Ross Barkley is sick as well."
