Thomas Tuchel Gives Update on Aubameyang’s Availability Against Dinamo Zagreb

The manager of Chelsea Football Club, Thomas Tuchel has given an update on the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubamyang.

Tuchel was speaking at a press conference ahead of Chelsea’s opening game in the UEFA Champions League against Dinamo Zagreb. Aubameyang was attacked by armed robbers at his home in Spain where he suffered a broken jaw.

He( Aubameyang) had a test with his mask yesterday and trained normally, so if it goes well today he and Denis will both be ready. Auba is ambitious, he is very focused and he is hungry to play for us and he is hungry to prove a point. That is why he is here. That is what we felt from the first moment and he is happily invited to prove a point tomorrow. If he is ready to start he cannot play 90 minutes so it is on us to take a decision how we manage the minutes. That he needs minutes to get full fitness is clear so it is on us to find solution If he is on the bench or if he starts.

Aubameyang is joining Chelsea with a lot of expectations from Chelsea supporters and he will hope he does not disappoint them.
