The Blues have only suffered one defeat in the league this season at the hands of Manchester City shortly before the October international break.
Ahead of the game against the newly promoted championship side, Tuchel provide an update on his fellow Antiono Rudiger, Thiago Silva and Pulisic.
The former PSG star has confirmed that Rudiger is set to be sidelined along with Christian Pulisic.
Meanwhile Thiago Silva is expected to miss the game against Thomas Frank side because he will be returning late due to participation for Brazil against Uruguay in the 2022 South America world cup qualifiers.
While speaking to the media this Friday afternoon, Tuchel said: “Thiago will be back in the afternoon tomorrow, hopefully safe from this match in Brazil. We had our talk and tactical training, he missed all that. He played 90 minutes and had 12 hours of travelling so that gives you the answer.
“Toni Rudiger is injured, came back injured from the national team. Christian Pulisic is still injured. We also have doubts with Hakim Ziyech who has missed the last couple of sessions with a headache. Romelu is fine and will be involved tomorrow.”
Brentford, though, are not expected to be a pushover. The Bees have enjoyed a fine start to their first-ever Premier League campaign, winning three, drawing three and losing one of their first seven ties –
