He is very disappointed, and I didn't feel it during the Villa match, beside it was the second half and he played through the injury. He finished the game. He was even confident enough to take a penalty. So it was a surprise. The steps he is taking are huge. Maybe he could've played if the game was one day later.
So it's a minor injury but there is disappointing because he's a player we rely on but the task is to find solutions now and to bring him back as soon as possible.
Chelsea have beaten Manchester City in all the three-time they have met under Tuchel. The Blues won the FA Cup Semi-final, a league game at the Etihad Stadium, and the UEFA Champions League final.
