Chelsea sweating on fitness of No 1 Edouard Mendy ahead of Saturday's Champions League final after he is forced off at half-time against Aston Villa... with Thomas Tuchel ruing a waiting game over keeper's 'rib injury'

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is sweating on the fitness of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy ahead of the Champions League final.

Mendy was forced off at half-time in a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa after colliding with the frame of the goal as he tried but failed to keep out the opening goal by Bertrand Traore.

He will undergo scans on Monday to find out the extent of the damage and work out his chances of being fit for Saturday's showpiece against Manchester City in Porto.

'He has big pain in his ribs,' said Tuchel.
