Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Andreas Christensen was pulled at half-time with an injury during the loss to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues fell to a tough defeat against Mikel Arteta’s side, who have lost their last three games, thanks to a brace from Eddie Nketiah as well as goals from Emile Smith-Rowe and Bukayo Saka.
And it was Christensen who provided the initial impetus for the Gunners, with a woeful back pass allowing Eddie Nketiah to steal in the first opening of the game.
The defender, who had struggled in the first half, was dropped at half-time, and Tuchel was quick to assume it was an injury rather than his sub-par performance.
Tuchel said Christensen had to take a break from playing due to an injury and stayed for treatment. He went on to blame the pitch for his mistake, covering the whole of him, saying home was the problem in general for Chelsea. “It’s a very, very difficult pitch here. It does not benefit us. ” #CFC
