PREMIER - Tuchel confirms Lukaku will play on Saturday

For the Red Devils, the Nations League has turned out to be a major disappointment with defeats to both France and Italy. In the consolation they had to do without Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku, who returned to their club early due to overload. There are still a lot of question marks around Hazard, but things are looking very good for Lukaku.

At his press conference on Friday, Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed that his striker can now train as normal again. Lukaku is therefore ready to play for Saturday, when Chelsea has to visit Brentford. It is a rare bright spot for Tuchel, who is struggling with the necessary absentees after the international break.

After all, he still has to do without Pulisic, sees Ziyech drop out due to a headache and determined that Rüdiger returned from his national team injured. Thiago Silva will also not be there on Saturday, because the experienced defender played with Brazil on Thursday night and is only now returning.
