Christian Pulisic has suffered another injury blow and is likely to miss out on the trip to St Mary’s.
The American international finished last season in sensational form, but has struggled to stay fit this season playing 90 minutes only five times.
Tuchel said that the player left training yesterday as a precaution.
On Pulisic’s injury, Tuchel says he is not worried about it and there are just some little issues in the calf. He stopped training yesterday before it became an injury. It is more a case of risk management. #SOUCHE
