And that's it from Thomas Tuchel. Thanks for joining us.
Tuchel is pressed on the nature of Pulisic's injury. He says the American suffered an ankle injury while playing for the USA and has had setbacks. He adds that the club are not hiding anything. Tuchel says Pulisic has been "very close" to being passed fit and is keen to return, but the problem is taking time to heal.
Tuchel says Chelsea "lack a bit of form" and that a big reason for that is that the players are playing too much football. He says there is "no shame" in having tight matches against Brentford and Southampton.
Rudiger and Silva are fit to return, confirms Tuchel, who says Pulisic is the only player out injured.
Tuchel is asked if the team are still adjusting to having Lukaku in the line-up and what can be done to get the best out of him. Tuchel says it is a process and also suggests that the amount of football Lukaku has played for club and country has had an effect.
Tuchel says Swedish teams tend to be confident and prepared to try different things, adding that Malmo deserve "full respect". He adds that they are a team confident in their own style and believe in what they are doing, so must not be underestimated.
Tuchel says teams are defending deep against Chelsea so he is "looking for solutions" and that this could involve a change of direction.
On Chelsea being tough to score against but finding things tougher at the other end of the pitch, Tuchel says getting the right balance is important and that he believes the team can create chances.
Tuchel is asked about last season's Champions League winner Kai Havertz and his dip in form. Tuchel says his fellow German "needs to find his way back" and that concedes that Havertz's form has not been as good.
Tuchel has arrived.
