Big blow for Tuchel as two Chelsea players set to be out of action for a month
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel could be without two Chelsea stars Edouard Mendy and Hakim Ziyech for about a month this season.
This is because of the Africa Cup of Nations which is set to hold from January 9, 2022 to February 9, 2022 in Cameroon.
During the period in which AFCON 2021 takes place, the Blues have games against Manchester City as well as Tottenham and could also be involved in the latter stages of the two domestic cup competitions.
Tuchel could also be without duo for Chelsea’s Premier League game against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge if they reach the final of the African Cup of Nations.
