Thomas Tuchel is confident Chelsea’s unvaccinated players will be available for next month’s Champions League last 16 second leg tie in Lille.

The Blues were set to be without a number of players who have not had the Covid jab due to strict regulations in France.

Speaking about the issue last month, Tuchel admitted that taking on the Ligue 1 champions with a depleted squad could 'create problems' for his side.
