Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says keeper Edouard Mendy will have a scan that will determine whether he features in next Saturday’s Champions League final.
Mendy suffered a rib injury during his side’s 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa after colliding with a post trying to keep out Bertrand Traore’s opening goal.
He failed to appear for the start of the second half, Kepa Arrizabalaga coming on in his place.
“We have a week to prepare, and we will see if it’s possible,” said Tuchel.
Chelsea face Premier League champions Manchester City in the Champions League final in Porto.
Tuchel will hope Senegal keeper Mendy, who has impressed since arriving from Rennes last September, makes a full recovery in time to feature.
Mendy has kept 16 Premier League clean sheets to help his side secure a top-four finish.
“He fell on the frame of the net. He has big pain in his ribs,” added Tuchel on Sunday, when asked about the injury.
“We need to wait until we get home and we will do some images. Tomorrow we will have an update on what’s going on.
“If it’s possible we need to push and do everything so he is in goal on Saturday.”
