"Cannot take any risks": Thomas Tuchel says Chelsea star will miss next two games due to injury

Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that Thiago Silva will miss Chelsea's FA Cup trip to Barnsley on Thursday. The 36-year-old picked up a thigh injury during the 1-0 win over Tottenham on Thursday. “[Regarding] Thiago, we’re fighting every day, but he will, for sure, be out of the FA Cup [against Barnsley on Thursday],” Tuchel said in his post-match press conference (via Hayters TV). “So it will take some time, several days. We’ve set the goal, maybe against Southampton (Saturday, 20 February) would be realistic, but it will be very ambitions. “But we’ll do everything and Thiago, he will do everything to be ready as soon as possible “With a muscle injury, you cannot take any risks. “When it’s healed, it’s healed, you cannot just [playing through] the pain like with other injuries.”
