Meanwhile, Hakim Ziyech and N'Golo Kante are both back in training and could feature in the north London derby.

"Hakim and N'Golo were both in training today, and did everything to be in training today and had absolutely no problems," Tuchel added.

"But they need another more physical, intense training session with the team.

"We can decide after that, but right now it seems very positive that both can be in the squad for Sunday.
