Will they be ready to kick off the season starting against Everton on August 6? The evidence sketchy is a knock on from the instability of Roman Abramovich being forced to sell up, and new owners coming in.
Even Tuchel isn't sure what shape his squad are in. He clearly fears there is uncertainty and instability in his ranks.
