Latest new Chelsea signing sent to Milan to get masked – Report
According to latest reports, New Chelsea signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, was sent to Milan to receive his customized mask.
However, According to a story in the Telegraph, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who joined Chelsea on the final day of the transfer window, has been dispatched to Milan to receive a custom face mask to guard his jaw. This is done to hasten the process of his making his club debut.
The 33-year-old striker’s mask will be made by an orthopaedic specialized company named Ortholabsport in Milan. For former Chelsea players Antonio Rudiger, Fernando Torres, Demba Ba, and Cesc Fabregas, the firm has previously produced masks.
Manager Thomas Tuchel is confident that they will create one for Aubameyang that will allow him to feel at ease while wearing it despite having a broken jaw. If the midweek match against Dinamo Zagreb is too early, Tuchel also expects the former Arsenal player to be available for the league match against Fulham the following week.
Here’s what the Blues boss had to say regarding this situation:
We try with a mask. It depends a little bit on what the specialists say who create the mask for him. And then how he adapts to the mask, so maybe it could be Tuesday, although maybe this is very soon. So maybe it’s Fulham, maybe it is a week later.
The summer-long rumour consisting of Aubameyang and Chelsea was finally brought to a halt when the striker made a move to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona on deadline day.
He is definitely one of those signings that make this team better than before. The Blues have been lacking a number nine throughout the summer after the departure of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner. Having Aubameyang would fill that gap with aplomb.
After a slow start to the season, Tuchel must be hoping to have the 33-year-old in the squad as soon as possible. With him in the team, the variety in the forward line goes up a notch, which can only be bad news for opposition defences.
