Mason Mount has admitted that Chelsea’s players have been kept in the dark about the crisis at Stamford Bridge following Roman Abramovich's decision to sell the club.
Mount revealed that football has given Thomas Tuchel and his players some welcome relief from the political machinations that have plunged the world and European champions into limbo after Abramovich was sanctioned by the Government following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Abramovich announced his intention to put Chelsea on the market before Downing Street froze his UK assets - and the bidding has been allowed to continue.
