Against Bayern Munich, Chelsea appear without Strengthened Pulisic and Azpilicueta
Sunday, August 2, 2020
UPDATimes - Last weekend's FA Cup final sacrificed two Chelsea players. Cesar Azpilicueta and Christian Pulisic suffered hamstring injuries. Both are confirmed to be absent in the match against Bayern Munich.
Azpilicueta and Pulisic started as Chelsea lost 1-2 to Arsenal in the FA Cup final. Both must be withdrawn from the field due to a hamstring injury.
Azpilicueta who is the captain of Chelsea first left the field, precisely in the 35th minute. Then followed by Christian Pulisic in the 49th minute.
"I don't know how Azpi and Christian really are. All I know is that their hamstrings must be scanned and examined in the next few days. They certainly will not be fit for next week's game, "Chelsea coach Frank Lampard told Sky Sports on Sunday (2/8/2020).
Unfortunately, Pedro also has a problem in his shoulder. The match against Arsenal became the last match of the Spanish winger on the domestic scene. If absent against Bayern, it could be his last fight with the Blues, because his contract was not renewed.
"Pedro, it looks like he's dislocated his shoulder. I haven't seen him when he was taken away so this is a disappointing end because it will probably be his last match for Chelsea. He is an extraordinary servant and I am sad to see his condition, "said Lampard.

"I do not yet know how severe the injury is. But for sure, hamstring Azpi and Christian will be scanned in the next few days," Lampard said after the match.
"They are also clearly not going to be fit for next week," he added.
Chelsea will travel to the headquarters of Bayern Munich in the second leg of the last 16 of the Champions League on Sunday (8/90/20). This game is quite difficult for Chelsea because they lost 0-3 in the first leg.
