Chelsea’s inconsistent season continued with Tuesday's 1-0 defeat by Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League Group E opener.
The shock loss proved to be the final game in charge for Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked on Wednesday morning. Now, all attention turns to Saturday’s West London derby against Fulham.
The Blues were able to field summer signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the starting line-up in midweek as the striker wore a mask to assist with his recent broken jaw. However, Thiago Silva was a surprise omission and N’Golo Kante remained sidelined with his long-term thigh problem.
