EPL: Immense boost as Aubameyang joins Chelsea training for the first time

Chelsea boss, Thomas Tuchel, has confirmed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will join training on Sunday.

Aubameyang signed for Chelsea from Barcelona with a fractured jaw.

After victory over West Ham, Tuchel said: “Yes, he trains tomorrow, but I cannot tell you if he trains with full contact or individually. We’ll need to see. He has the mask, and the doctors tell me the mask is good and he feels comfortable with it.

“So he would be ok, but we need to check it, and we need to check it with no contact, half-contact, and then full contact. We need to see how he feels about it. It’s too early to make a prediction, but he’ll be in training tomorrow morning, and we’ll see.”

“For us, it’s an immense boost to have the window closed. It’s simply like this. We now have the chance to demand full commitment. There is no way out anymore. We are the group for Chelsea that wants to have the best possible results and outcomes. We have to take responsibility now from here.

“I am happy with everybody who is in the group. There is a reason for everyone to be in the group. We want to use this momentum to kickstart the new season, and I am happy to get the luck needed, got the belief, got the atmosphere, and turned it around because these things are needed to play with full belief and confidence.”
