When Livramento pulled out of the World Cup squad, Tuchel opted to call-up centre-back Trevoh Chalobah rather than including a replacement right-back such as Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Tuchel said it was too early to assess the severity of Quansah’s injury immediately after the game but, given the last-32 match is just four days away, the Bayer Leverkusen defender’s availability is uncertain.
“A classic ankle twist and he is in pain,” Tuchel said of Quansah’s injury. “He said he had it before and it is a matter of days. He has his leg up high and in ice.
“Naturally of course [I am worried about the right-back situation] – we have another injury in the position.
“It will be a tight race for Reece James and a tight race for Jarell Quansah but it is our job to find solutions and we will do.”
