Tuchel rules midfield duo out of Wolves clash
06 May 2022
Thomas Tuchel has reported that central midfield duo N'Golo Kante and
Jorginho are unavailable for this weekend's Premier League match with
Wolverhampton Wanderers, while confirming Callum Hudson-Odoi remains on
the sidelines.

Kante missed last weekend's trip to Everton with an injury he sustained in
the game against Manchester United, while Jorginho was withdrawn at the
interval at Goodison Park last Sunday.
Despite having a full week to recover, the boss says a return for either
would be premature.
'For N'Golo it comes too early. Jorginho is out as well, these two are
missing. Callum and Ben Chilwell are still out,' Tuchel said.

N'Golo picked up an injury at Old Trafford
The boss also hinted at a return to the starting XI for our no.9 Romelu
Lukaku. The Belgian was an unused substitute against his former club last
Sunday, but our head coach says he has reacted well in training this week.
'I want him to be an important part of the squad, right now he is very
important. There is no recruitment and no players are about to leave
because it's simply not possible,' the boss said as he briefed the media
at Cobham earlier this afternoon.
'We need to adapt all the time, to contractual situations and also
individual situations, what we and the players want.

The boss also admitted it was nice to have a midweek break from action
'We signed a big player, he is a big player. He didn't come on [at
Everton] as we had only three changes, and unfortunately we used one at
half-time with Jorginho. Otherwise there was a huge chance we had the same
changes as against West Ham, with Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech,' he
added. 'He trained very well, maybe he starts tomorrow, we'll see.'
