The German was speaking at a post-press conference after the Blue's defeat against the Gunners at Stamford Bridge. According to Tuchel, the defender had a groin injury before the London Derby on Wednesday, April 20th, 2022.

It's a groin pain a little, minor injury. I hope and the doctors told me today is unfortunately too soon. I don't think he will play against West Ham United.
