After an intense Sunday afternoon facing off with Antonio Conte and being left frustrated with Anthony Taylor's refereeing, Thomas Tuchel could be forgiven from wanting some time away from football. The football season is relentless in its demands however, no less so than in the summer transfer window.
The German coach was in the stands of the Kingsmeadow Stadium on Monday night to watch Chelsea's development side take on Fulham in Premier League 2 for their first home game under Mark Robinson. The under-21s boss guided his team to a 7-1 victory away to Wolves on the opening day.
Tuchel was treated to seeing the talents of Bashir Humphreys, Omari Hutchinson and Ben Elliott against the Cottagers but it was perhaps little surprise that he was in attendance with Ben Chilwell, Ethan Ampadu, Trevoh Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka in the starting XI.
