Chelsea players are tired, we need to recharge the batteries- Tuchel
Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel says his Chelsea players looked “tired” in the 1-1 draw against Brighton on Tuesday’s night.
Tuchel says the players need some days off ahead of the Super Sunday showdown against Tottenham.
Hakim Ziyech put Chelsea on the lead with his first-half strike but it was cancelled out by Adam Webster’s free header.
Chelsea are winless in their last four Premier League games, drawing three, and missed the chance to go above Liverpool into second.
Tuchel said,”If look at our situation of long-term injuries, of key players injured, and of Covid and you look at our schedule you will have the answer.
“We are mentally tired and physically tired, you can see it in our performance, it’s as easy as that.
We need to recharge the batteries, we need to reconnect.
This is my feeling, that’s why I give the players two days off and then we will use Friday and Saturday to prepare for Sunday.”
