Having conducted his post-match media duties following Chelsea's Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool, Thomas Tuchel returned to the Chelsea dressing room and was shocked by what greeted him.
"I could not believe what I saw after the match," the German revealed this afternoon during his pre-match press conference. "There was surgery going on in our dressing room!
"I'm not joking, it was surgery. They were stitching him up and I just heard him scream in pain while they were doing it."
