Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has said that Edouard Mendy will not play against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues will take on Premier League rivals Villa at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.

Mendy, who joined Chelsea in the summer of 2020, did not play against Tottenham Hotspur in the London derby this past weekend due to injury.

Kepa Arrizabalaga played instead and kept a clean sheet, as Chelsea won 3-0.

Mendy is suffering with an injury which will keep him out of the Carabao Cup tie against Villa, according to Tuchel.

Tuchel told Football.London: “Yes there will be some changes because we can give important minutes to guys who are missing them at the moment.

“Edou Mendy will not be fit. We hope to have him in individual training on Wednesday then group training on Thursday.”

Chelsea can be backed at 17/2 on Betfair to win the tie 3-0.
