Chelsea vs Aston Villa: Tuchel Provides Injury Update On Lukaku, Kante

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel says striker Romelu Lukaku has 'no injury problem at all'. The Blues confronts Aston Villa on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.

Lukaku mentioned he had a thigh problem while on international duty, but his coach says he is now alright.

"Maybe he had some problems, but he came back two days ago and yesterday he trained with us and today he trained fully no problem. So no problem there at all," Tuchel said during his pre-match press conference on Friday.

For N'Golo Kante, the German tactician says the world-cup winner and Christian Pulisic won't play a part in the Aston Villa game.

"Unfortunately we have two players out: N'Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic. They came back both injured. Well, N'Golo got injured against Liverpool and still suffers a little bit. We'll try with N'Golo for Tuesday, this looks pretty good."

Fourth-placed Chelsea remain unbeaten so far from their opening three games (W2, D1), while Villa have had a taste of every result (W1, D1, L1).

Chelsea have earned 45 points under Tuchel - a tally bettered only by Manchester City's 51 during that time.
