Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that he only heard about Roman Abramovich's decision to put Chelsea up for sale when kick-off in their FA Cup tie with Luton was "very close".
Abramovich released a statement just over an hour before the game kicked off confirming that previous reports were true and that he would be looking to sell the club.
Chelsea still battled to victory but were made to come from behind twice to beat the Hatters at Kenilworth Road and book their place in the quarter-finals. Saul Niguez, Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku all finding the net.
