Zidane’s doubts for the game.
According to Marca, Zidane has doubts for the game against Chelsea:
- Back four or back five?
- Start Ramos or leave him on the bench?
- Is Hazard ready for the big game?
- What to do with Valverde if he tests negative?
- Who to play at right-back?
Tuchel comments about the game.
Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea’s coach also has doubts for the game.
Thomas Tuchel: "If we play without a striker and Ramos doesn't have a player to fight with, that might be a solution. I haven't made a decision yet, it's another challenge because Ramos is a leader on the field and he's the guy who can offer a lot of solutions to any question."
