Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea’s head coach has revealed that newly signed Player, Aubameyang will soon start featuring in matches for Chelsea, as early as next week. However, he did not feature in Chelsea’s match against West Ham today, as he traveled to Italy to get a protective face mask from his specialist.
If we can recall, there were reports that Aubameyang’s house in Barcelona was robbed, and he and his wife obtained minor injuries in the process. He suffered a broken jaw due to the incident and might need a protective mask to feel safe on the pitch.
According to Tuchel, they want to try the mask on him, as it was created by a specialist, if he adapts quickly to the mask, he might feature in Tuesday’s match for them
Tuchel further added that Auba is very happy and ready to push things, as he is out there to get his mask done and possibly might join them in Sunday’s training.
“We try with a mask. It depends a little bit on what the specialists say, who create the mask for him.”
“And then how he adapts to the mask so maybe it could be Tuesday [in the Champions League against Dinamo Zagreb], although maybe this is very soon. So maybe it’s Fulham, maybe it is a week later.
“The very latest [is] after the national break but we try to push things and Auba is happy to push things. He is out there now at the specialist to get his mask done and then he tries, I think, Sunday in training,” Tuchel said.
Super Eagles player, Victor Osimhen who plays for the Serie A side also wears a protective face mask after sustaining an injury on his head.
