A heavy workload for Chelsea's international players may have contributed to their lack of freshness on the pitch in recent games, manager Thomas Tuchel said on Tuesday, but the German backed them to rise to the challenge of competing on all fronts.

Pulisic Injury Update

Tuchel added Christian Pulisic remains unavailable through injury. The American forward has not featured for Chelsea since the opening day of the season against Crystal Palace after suffering an ankle injury during the international break.

Swift thinking from Tottenham Hotspur duo Sergio Reguilón and Eric Dier allowed medical staff to quickly treat a fan who had collapsed during Sunday's Premier League game against Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Spurs were leading 2-1 in the 41st minute when referee Andre Marriner halted the match after the players brought the medical emergency in the East End of the stadium to his attention.

Newcastle cayó 2-3 ante Tottenham, en su primer partido bajo propiedad de un consorcio de capital árabe. Sin embargo, la derrota pasó a tercer plano ante los momentos de tensión que se vivieron en las tribunas de St. James Park, luego de que un aficionado local sufriera una emergencia cardíaca en los minutos finales del primer tiempo.

La situación fue alertada por el lateral del Tottenham, Sergio Reguilón, quien rápidamente corrió hasta el árbitro del partido, Andrew Marriner, para pedir ayuda.

¡SE DETIENE EL PARTIDO!

Newcastle United’s first match since the sale of the club to a Saudi Arabian-backed consortium was brought to a halt in the 41st minute after players, referee and medical teams quickly responded to an emergency in the stands at St. James’ Park.

Callum Wilson had given Newcastle a second-minute lead, only for Tanguy Ndombele and Harry Kane to reply for Tottenham by the 22nd. 

In the 41st, it became apparent that something was wrong when Spurs defender Sergio Reguilón could be seen trying to get referee Andre Marriner’s attention.    

Norwich City got its second point of the Premier League season with a scoreless draw against Brighton on Saturday. A brutal Josh Sargent miss vs. Brighton in the first half will have the Canaries wishing they got all three points.
