With Thomas Tuchel in the UK following protocol having tested positive for Covid-19, Low and Arno Michels are taking training here in Abu Dhabi. Part of their extra responsibilities include stepping in for Tuchel to address the media, and Low answered their questions before open training today at the stadium where we will meet Al Hilal on Wednesday. With a mix of local, British and Saudi journalists in attendance, the line of questioning was varied, but the headline news regarded Mount, who picked up a knock at the weekend, James, who travelled to Abu Dhabi unexpectedly, and Mendy, our recent Africa Cup of Nations winner. Mount is the only one in contention to play tomorrow. 'Mason is getting better and better every day,' reported Low. 'We are running with the time, but we will see how he moves today, how he feels today, and then we will take a last decision tomorrow. https://i.imgur.com/8YKh9T5.jpg

Reece travelled with the group but won't be involved this week 'For Reece James, no, there is no chance he plays in the Club World Cup. He is in a very, very good way, but he missed still some days, some training sessions to enjoy the group again, or have the possibility to play the game.' Mendy will soon report for duty and Low admitted replacing Kepa wouldn't be easy. 'Mendy arrives later today or tomorrow. We will see how he is, how tired he is. He has to arrive first, we have to check him, we have to talk to him. We will see in a few days whether there is a possibility he plays. https://i.imgur.com/FsDfdN8.jpg

Our weekend penalty heroes! 'This is a good situation for the coaches where we have two amazing goalkeepers. Mendy did a fantastic performance, he won the Africa Cup, and was the best goalkeeper at the tournament. Kepa has done an amazing job and in the last game saved a very important penalty. He is also in very good shape. 'For sure when Mendy arrives we will have talks, also with the goalkeeper coaches, and we will take a decision afterwards.' Low was also asked about the amazing scenes in Dakar as Senegal revelled in their maiden AFCON triumph 'We were very happy for Mendy. This is a very important thing for him and for all African players, to win the Africa Cup. https://i.imgur.com/LLyK0cQ.jpg

The former Hungarian international was an engaging speaker 'He did an amazing performance. It was very important to celebrate with his team-mates, and with his country. It was a nice celebration!' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2022/02/08/ low-on-tuchel-s-chances-of-making-the-club-world-cup-and-how-cec Low on Tuchel' chances of making the Club World Cup and how Cech is helping in his absence 08 Feb 2022 First-team coach Zsolt Low was on media duties in Abu Dhabi ahead of our FIFA Club World Cup semi-final against Al Hilal, explaining how Thomas Tuchel is working remotely with the other coaches after testing positive for Covid and why Petr Cech has been such a big help during this period. https://i.imgur.com/gqFjhTC.jpg

With Tuchel remaining in London while he follows protocol after his positive test, the hands-on running of the team has fallen to his coaching staff, with Low taking his place in the pre-match press conference in Abu Dhabi the day before our semi. He explained how Tuchel is playing a constant role in the team' preparations, as well as the possibility of him joining the team before the end of the tournament. 'We are continuously in contact with Thomas,' said Low. 'We have a lot of meetings together, he is calling us all the time. We get calls during training and also when we come out in the evenings. We try to make it like he is here with us. https://i.imgur.com/XPuyw7N.jpg

'Thomas followed the Government rules and gets tested every day, so we hope the next test will be negative. We want to give him the feeling that he is with us and absolutely we need his support.' Low admitted that it is difficult to continue at the same level without Tuchel, but that the support the coaches have received from those around them, particularly club legend and current technical and performance advisor Cech, has been crucial. 'It is a big challenge that Thomas is not here but we try to make it as good as possible. We have a very good structured club here at Chelsea, we have a lot of support from different people at club. 'First of all Petr Cech, he's an amazing guy and supports us very well in these days. Petr is all the time with us. He has a very good feeling for when we need him, when we don't need him. When we need him he will always step up, but he doesn't want to disturb us all the time and be part of every discussion and every meeting. He's given us a lot of support and we're very happy that he's with us. https://i.imgur.com/yZi3vOy.jpg

Cech leads Chelsea out during the 2012 Club World Cup 'We have very good medical staff, very good team management, a lot of support as coaching staff to help us carry on in this situation. We are still in contact with Thomas and he helps us how he can every day to prepare the training sessions, to prepare for team meetings.' However, despite Tuchel's input, Low feels he is such an accomplished coach that it will take everyone working together to make up for his absence in person. 'We cannot copy Thomas, he is one of the best coaches in the world, that is why we have to share it among the whole coaching staff to do different things. We try to push the team forward and we change all the time when somebody sees something or has a good opinion. 'Thomas is playing his part with messages and phone calls. Until now, the last few days were absolutely perfect.' While making up for Tuchel's absence is obviously a huge task for his staff, Low believes the head coach's enthusiasm, and the time difference, means that not being on the touchline could be just as big a challenge for the German back home. 'Thomas is on English time and just needs a wake-up call with his alarm to get up for a meeting at 6am in the morning. But the training sessions are in the afternoon so it's very comfortable to join the training sessions. https://i.imgur.com/ed9QJeW.jpg

Low helps direct training in Abu Dhabi 'I don't know how he behaves at home! It can be very difficult for him to sit in front of the TV with all of the emotions. Thomas is absolutely the coach who likes to be with the team and give a lot of energy for the team. So this is the challenge he has to deal with.' -- "Gracchus, something more cheerful." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgUPSBZV_pM
