Edouard Mendy: Chelsea keeper makes "huge improvement" from injury before Champions League final

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel hopes Edouard Mendy is fit for Saturday's Champions League final after making a "huge improvement" from a rib injury.

He was replaced by Kepa Arrizabalaga for the second half before going for a scan.

"We still have hope that he joins training on Wednesday and he joins the group," said Tuchel.

"He's made a huge improvement in the management of pain.

"So we need a further update on Wednesday but we hope to have him back in training."
