Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount will miss Manchester City’s clash with the Blues in the Premier League tomorrow.
It has been confirmed by Thomas Tuchel that the Mount has been ruled of the game due to injury.
The England international was said to have finish the game in the Carabao cup game against Aston Villa on Wednesday with Knock.
Thomas Tuchel says that the 22-year-old is close to being fit and should be available for selection against Juventus in the Champions League.
“For Mason Mount it’s too soon, he has a minor injury from the Aston Villa game,” said Blues boss Tuchel.
“He made a big step, huge progress, but it’s not enough to be ready for 1230 tomorrow.
“Mason’s very disappointed. I didn’t feel it during the match because it happened in the second-half and he played through the injury and he finished the game.
“He was even confident enough to take an important penalty. So it was a bit of a surprise. So the steps for recovery he’s doing right now, they are huge, maybe it’s even possible that he could have played if the game was one day later.
“So it’s a very minor injury, but still a disappointment for him and for us. Because he’s a player that we count on.”
