Thomas Tuchel has responded favourably to a suggestion that the front of Chelsea’s shirts could carry “a message for peace” after Three suspended its sponsorship. The manager also admitted players were concerned about what could happen at the club and in some cases may be frightened.
Tuchel was talking after Roman Abramovich was hit with UK government sanctions, plunging Chelsea into limbo. A swift impact was Three’s withdrawal of support until further notice. The government said it had clear evidence that Abramovich was connected to the Vladimir Putin regime and, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Tuchel would be happy to see Chelsea’s shirts carry a message for peace.
