Romelu Lukaku - Picks up Achilles problem Lukaku didn't train Thursday and is a late test for Saturday's trip to Southampton, according to manager Thomas Tuchel. "Romelu has achilles pain, it's nothing serious but it is ju...

Impact Lukaku hasn't played more than 27 minutes in a match since February, so it's either an Achilles problem or a problem with his attitude because of playing time. While he had a chance to start Saturday, it now looks like Kai Havertz will get another call up front on a short week.

Hakim Ziyech - Late test against Southampton Ziyech (undisclosed) missed Thursday's training session and is a late test for Saturday's trip to Southampton, according to manager Thomas Tuchel. "They were not in training yester...

Impact Ziyech played 45 minutes midweek and the full 90 last weekend, but whatever issue this is could forced him to a smaller role against Southampton. While there's still a chance he starts, there's also a chance he misses out completely if he doesn't train Friday, leading to a bigger role for Mason Mount.

Callum Hudson-Odoi - Weeks away from return Hudson-Odoi (Achilles) is considered weeks away from a return, according to manager Thomas Tuchel. "With Callum, it doesn't look too good and it is not a matter of days at the mome...

Impact Hudson-Odoi played in the Club World Cup a month ago, but the issue wouldn't go away. It's clearly a nagging issue and something that could cost him the rest of the campaign. It's a tough injury given that he was finally getting a decent amount of run this season.

Only a trip to Southampton lies before the return leg against Real Madrid, and Havertz has scored four times over his last four EPL appearances.
