Chelsea evening headlines as Erling Haaland makes transfer decision, Atletico eye Blues star

Here are your Chelsea evening headlines for Wednesday, March 3.

Silva to miss Liverpool trip

Centre-back Thiago Silva remains unavailable for Chelsea ahead of their clash tomorrow evening with Liverpool, head coach T homas Tuchel has confirmed.

Silva has been sidelined since the 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month after being forced off with a thigh injury.

The Brazilian has recently made a return to training but the clash at Anfield will come too soon for the experienced central-defender.

Issuing an update on the condition of the former Paris Saint-German ace, Tuchel said: "Thiago made his first training with the team but did not finish the last exercise, just to be taking no risk.

"I assume he trains today but not 100 per cent so he will not join us for Liverpool."

Haaland blow

Chelsea's hopes of signing Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland this summer have been dealt a major blow.

The Norway international, who has been in formidable form this season for the German heavyweights, has narrowed his next destination down to six possible clubs, but the Blues are not included on that list.

That is according to a report by German outlet Sport Bild, who claim the Dortmund ace has cut both Chelsea and Bayern Munich from his shortlist, narrowing his potential options down to half-a-dozen.

According to the report, Haaland only wishes to join 'an absolute top club,' suggesting Chelsea do not fall under that umbrella in the eyes of the youngster.

Atletico eye Ziyech deal

Spanish giants Atletico Madrid are looking at the possibility of signing Chelsea midfielder Hakim Ziyech this summer, according to a report by Fichajes, as cited by Sports Mole.

Ziyech joined the Blues from Dutch giants Ajax last summer in the hope of blessing Chelsea's squad with the creativity that he had continuously shown in the Netherlands.

However, it has not quite worked out for the Morocco international in west London so far, sparking speculation that he could leave the club just a year after he arrived.

Since Tuchel's arrival at Stamford Bridge in January, Ziyech has struggled for opportunities, starting just twice under the former Borussia Dortmund boss.

Recently, it was claimed that Ziyech was mulling over his future and considering leaving the club after falling out-of-favour under Tuchel.

With that in mind, it already seems unlikely that the winger will see out the duration of the five-year deal he signed.
