Kovacic and Christensen will both miss Wednesdays Premier League clash

Kovacic and Christensen will both miss Wednesday’s Premier League clash with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Blues boss Thomas Tuchel suggested however that Kovacic could stand more chance of being fit in time to take on the Foxes at Wembley.

“Kova is not ready for tomorrow, we have to postpone it to Wembley,” said Tuchel.

“So his personal race is on to make it to the squad to Wembley.

“For Andreas, it’s better than we feared, much better, the images yesterday, so we hope also for one of the two Leicester games for him to come back.

“It will also be a tough one but the season is not finished for him hopefully.

“So we have realistic hopes that his latest comeback will be against Aston Villa (May 23).”
