Chelsea boss Tuchel says Gilmour could see action against Fulham

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says Billy Gilmour could see action against Fulham.

With Mateo Kovacic unavailable due to injury, Tuchel was asked if Gilmour has a chance of playing against Fulham tomorrow so N'Golo Kante or Jorginho can have a rest.

"It could be, but it's not decided yet," responded Tuchel.

"N'Golo feels very good, Jorgi looked very good in training today, fresh again. The guys are super professional, they know we miss Kova a lot. I have the feeling N'Golo and Jorgi step even up in doing everything to recover as fast as possible.

"They looked very good today in training, I was quite impressed, so the last decision is made today in the evening. Billy is in the squad, he was very close to playing some minutes in the last games, and he is in good shape so he could play."
