However, good news for the German coach is that Antonio Rudger will play but in a mask, after being forced to replace himself in the first match because of a facial injury before missing against Fulham at the weekend.

”Mateo [Kovac] will not be on the team. Tony [Rudiger] will be playing in the mask because he's been trained in a mask,” said initially Tuchel.

Everyone else has been trained today. Everyone is ready except Mateo Kovacic. ”

We remember that in the first game in Madrid, Chelsea and Real Madrid played 1-1. /Periscope. com/
