Thomas Tuchel has admitted he is missing the presence of Petr Cech as he continues to try and adjust to the Todd Boehly era at Chelsea.
Boehly has completely overhauled the way Chelsea run since his consortium completed a takeover from Roman Abramovich at the end of May. Chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia have been moved on, along with Cech, who worked as technical and performance advisor for three years up until he decided to step down on June 30.
The changes behind the scenes have taken time to get used to at Chelsea, who are in the midst of a crucial summer transfer window. After losing defenders Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger on free transfers and offloading forwards Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner to their former clubs, the Blues need more additions before the window closes on September 1.
