Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Mateo Kovacic will miss Chelsea's match against Arsenal after picking up an injury in the FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace. The Croatian midfielder was substituted in the first half of the clash, and Chelsea went on to win 2-0 thanks to goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount.
Kovacic left Wembley with some heavy strapping on his ankle but without the use of crutches. However, the German coach revealed in his press conference on Tuesday that the Chelsea ace has suffered ligament damage.
Tuchel further noted that Chelsea would still be without long term injured stars Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi, with the former still rehabilitating from his knee injury while the latter manages his Achilles issue. The 48-year-old coach hinted that the Blues also had some other concerns.
