Sam Dalling was at Stamford Bridge for our match report.
Thomas Tuchel spoke about Antonio Rüdiger’s decision to leave the club in his post-match interview with Sky Sports.
He wants to leave the club. He informed me of this is in a private talk. We gave everything - me and the club - but we could not fight anymore because of the actions. Without the sanctions we would at least be able to carry on fighting, but out hands are tied. We don’t take it personally. It is his decision.
He is a key figure and will stay that way until the end of the season. But it is disappointing. We will miss him a lot. He is a top defender in the last one and a half years for me. We then need to find another solution.
