Former Chelsea player and assistant manager Jody Morris has revealed that defender Andreas Christensen had to drop out of matches late in Frank Lampard's stewardship of the club. It comes after the Dane pulled out of a number of games this season under Thomas Tuchel - most notably the FA Cup final - on the morning of the game.
That was something revealed by the German coach, however he didn’t want to delve into the reason for the decisions. “Andreas [Christensen] came in the morning of the match [FA Cup final] to speak to me," the German said in his press conference. "He told me he was not ready to start the match or be on the bench. He had his reasons. They stay private and confidential.
“It was not the first time as you can see over the last weeks that we had some of the same situations.” It means that, having missed the past two games, the defender may have played his last game for the club, with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
