At this stage of the season it’s not just a marathon of matches – it’s a marathon of press conferences. Thomas Tuchel had to take four last week, and now it’s Tuesday of the next week and he’s already doing his next one.

It does allow us to keep up with the ever evolving coronavirus and injury situations though, and as always he started today with a team news update.

Jorginho missed the game against Wolves after a positive test, but his PCR has come back negative, so he will be back in the team for tomorrow.

That’s great news, but it was balanced out by two absences – Trevoh Chalobah and Andreas Christensen are described as “very doubtful” to play by their coach in quotes picked up by Football.London, thanks to injuries they’ve picked up in these hectic last few weeks.

One step forwards, two steps back… that’s how it seems to be going for us at the moment.
