Confirmed : Chelsea hit by double injury blow ahead of Carabao Cup final against Liverpool

  Chelsea have been dealt a double 

injury blow before Sunday's Carabao 

Cup final against Liverpool at Wenbley.




Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech 


were both forced off in Tuesday's 2-0 


victory over Lille in their Champions 


League Round of 16 first leg tie.



Now Chelsea boss Thomas 


Tuchel faces an anxious wait to discover


 if they will be available to face Liverpool.



He said: 'I should have substituted 


Kovacic earlier at half-time, so could 


have had one more change.




'I did not see Hakim's injury, I have 


not spoken to the doctor. I hope it is 


not too much, but it is a little bit the 


story of the season (with injuries).



'Today is Tuesday, until Sunday it is 


good because there are a lot of days 


for us to recover, so we will take care of that.'



Kovacic limped off in the 51st minute


 and was replaced by Ruben Loftus-


Cheek. Ziyech off went off the hour 


mark with an ankle injury.



Tuchel added: 'We don't like to have 


that many injuries and would like to 


have more impact from the bench 


in a tactical matter, but it is what it is.



'Let's see, I hope the guys will be 


ready for Sunday.

  Last week, after Flamengo fans were dissatisfied  with Andreas Pereira's start to the season,  there were speculations in Brazil that the club  was considering terminating its contract  with Manchester United.  Despite the fact that the Rio de Janeiro club  has a €20 million purchase option on the  midfielder, it has been reported that a deal has  been reached to make the move permanent  for €10.5 million, which is still deemed excessive.  That's why 'key officials' at Flamengo were  believed to be trying to cancel the transaction,  but that won't happen, according to reports  from the weekend.  Journalist Venê Casagrande claims on  Youtube that the Brazilian club will honor the  contract and that the announcement was just  postponed so that the player may compete  in the Super Cup.  "The transaction has been completed."
