Andreas Christensen not expected to perform this week

Thomas Tuchel says Andreas Christensen has not been able to play against the Reds and is not expected to play this week.

A little about the topic

A German manager has exposed a Danish player who asked to stay out of the squad for the FA Cup final against the Reds last week. Chelsea were beaten in the clash at Wembley as they drew 0-0 with Liverpool and went on to lose on penalties. Andreas has not been involved and Tuchel says he is not sure if he will be part of the squad to face Leicester on Thursday or in the season’s final game against Watford on Sunday.

What did Thomas say about Andreas Christensen?

The German coach told reporters that he is not yet sure if he is participating tomorrow and at the weekend. Well, Andreas Christensen came to the FA Cup final in the morning to let him know, to talk to him. According to Thomas Tuchel, Christensen told him that he was not ready to play the match, start the match and be on the bench. Andreas had reasons. They remain closed and confidential.

This was not the first time, as they can see in recent weeks, that they had the same situations. Therefore, Andreas has not played regularly over the past weeks. Tuchel says they thought they were in good progression because he played a strong match before the final against Leeds. The conversation took place.

They should have respected it. Certainly. Andreas Christensen still has their support, but Thomas isn’t sure for tomorrow. When asked if the defender would play against Watford, Thomas said it was probably unlikely. It was a very short notice before the cup final, not only before this match. Other matches from a few weeks before. There is no chance that he has a forecast until tomorrow or for the weekend.

The Danish player has been linked with a move to Barcelona in recent weeks. The Danish international’s contract at Chelsea expires this summer, and in March, Barça are pushing him to land, although they could face competition from Bayern Munich.

Thomas didn’t say the transfer was due to uncertainty about his future, saying he didn’t think it was something he didn’t want to play, he was unable to play. This is a big difference. They had more than this conversation, but on Saturday morning he finally told him.
