Chelsea vs Villarreal

Chelsea vs Villarreal – Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has explained his decision to play Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic as wing-backs ahead of their UEFA Super Cup game against Villarreal on August 11.

According to the German, it is his plan B.

Hudson-Odoi and Pulisic played in that position as the Blues beat Arsenal 2-1 in a pre-season friendly on Sunday.

Chelsea are currently without Ben Chilwell, Emerson Palmieri and Reece James, who were given extended holidays after participating in Euro 2020.

Cesar Azpilicueta is still unfit, while it’s unclear if Marcos Alonso is nursing an injury.

“Yes, maybe [Pulisic will play in that position against Villarreal].

“He played there with me at Dortmund — and we have played many times like this with Callum [Hudson-Odoi].

Marcos [Alonso] was not able to play [on Sunday].

“So we put Callum on the left side which is what I had wanted to see for a long time if he could,

Maybe, be more dangerous from this position with his dribbling, coming inside — which he loves and he did it [against Arsenal],” Tuchel told Hayters TV as quoted by The Chelsea Chronicle.
