Thomas Tuchel has warned want-away Chelsea star’s that the club’s injury crisis are set to stop transfers out of Stamford Bridge in this window.
The German coach today confirmed that N’Golo Kante will be out for “weeks” with the hamstring suffered against Tottenham. And Armando Broja and Mateo Kovacic are also out of Sunday’s trip to Leeds while Christian Pulisic is suffering from “Achilles problems”.
The American is among Blues players linked with moves away from Chelsea this summer. Conor Gallagher is wanted by Newcastle and Crystal Palace while Callum Hudson-Odoi and Broja are wanted on loan by other Premier League clubs. But before Sunday’s visit to Leeds, Tuchel said a busy fixture schedule - with the Champions League group stages starting next month and finishing before the November World Cup - means he needs all his stars.
