“Ben was in a lot of pain,” explained Tuchel. “Now he feels a bit better. He has an examination on Wednesday to be more precise. Hopefully, we get away, fingers crossed, with not too bad news.

“With N’Golo, it’s a bit the same. He got stronger and stronger in the first half but twisted his knee a little bit. Hopefully, it’s not too bad.”
