Thomas Tuchel speaks ahead of Crystal Palace
Thomas Tuchel says he’s excited to be on the sidelines alongside Roy Hodgson of Crystal Palace and respects him a lot. Tuchel admits that they must remain calm against Palace because they are tough opposition with two key players up front.
Much debate currently ongoing for Chelsea fans is whether they will be able to see Tammy Abraham back in the squad. The striker has been out for over a month now and concerns ar rising. Earlier Tuchel emphasised that he didn’t want to rush things with Abraham and Thiago Silva.
Tammy has had a rough time. He started twice or three times and substituted for tactical reasons at half-time. He’s not had the imapct we wish and demand from him. He then got injured, lost the connection and possibility to play for his place the squad.
Now suddenly we’re in the decisive part of the season, where it’s not so easy to bring injured players into the shape. We’ve only got three changes and a big handicap. It’s up to Tammy to do everything possible. We have 22 players on the pitch and it’s very hard to select 18 for Premier League matches. In the offensive position it’s possible to have a huge impact in small minutes. We demand a lot of Tammy, he demands a lot of himself.
Tammy Abraham is still Chelsea’s top scorer and hasn’t started a game since 20th Feb. Chelsea have not scored twice in open play in PL without him since the 3-3 with Southampton in October.
