Thankfully, the management has verified that the former will be available on Tuesday.
“Of course, we’ll fight for Azpi, and we’ll push for Mason [Mount],” Tuchel said on Chelsea TV when asked about a probable injury comeback for the Champions League encounter.
“However, it may be a little early for Mason.”
“I don’t believe he’ll make it.” But we’ll give it a shot and see what happens.”
