Thomas Tuchel decided to cancel the Chelsea squad's scheduled day off on Sunday as he felt it necessary to clear the air with his players ahead of a pivotal week in their season.
The Blues make the long trip to West Yorkshire tomorrow night (Wednesday) to take on relegation-threatened Leeds United in the Premier League. Victory for Chelsea would all but secure their place in the top four and Champions League football for next season. Defeat would leave them vulnerable to chasing duo Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
A quick turnaround is then required as on Saturday, Chelsea face Liverpool in the FA Cup final. It is the second occasion this season the two sides face off in a showpiece game at Wembley; in February, the Reds walked away with the Carabao Cup after overcoming Tuchel's side on penalties.
