Thomas Tuchel has admitted he had doubts over the way his Chelsea players would respond to Roman Abramovich being sanctioned as the club was thrown into turmoil on Wednesday.
The German coach had to prepare his players for a crucial Premier League clash away at Norwich City after the news of Abramovich's sanctioning by the UK government broke on the eve of the game.
Chelsea have been severely affected by the decision, with restrictions now in place on player transfers and ticket sales while shirt sponsors Three have suspended their £40m-a-season deal.
