Tuchel confirms he’s staying:
“From pre-season next season we will give our very best and I will be fully involved with all my heart and my knowledge.”
Reece James and Rudiger could give Tuchel green light :
“Kova will be out, Ben Chilwell will be out and Callum will be out. Toni Rudiger was in training yesterday, so was Reece James, we have another training coming and hopefully they will be fine.
Andreas needs another examination, but hopefully he will train. Ross Barkley is sick and will not be in the squad.”
Tuchel sends warning shot to United. Tuchel on Chelsea not winning at Old Trafford since 2013:
“So it is time…
It’s always a good time for a win no matter if you won the last match or not. It just shows it is not easy and you can get these streaks. With all the respect that we have for the history and the occasion and the quality in general of Man U, we will prepare to win this match and then we will see what questions are asked.
It is not so much now or never because they are struggling with results recently. We try to prepare in the best way possible and to win the match tomorrow. For me as football fan and fan of the Premier League, it is a big match.”
Players reaction to Rudiger leaving :
“I don’t think anybody likes it. He gives everybody confidence in the dressing room. He is a unique character and plays on an outstanding level. He sometimes takes the focus towards him, he loves responsibility.
I don’t think anybody likes this decision but we have to accept it. Like it or not there will be life at Chelsea after Toni. It is also the most important thing for us that it ends like it started, on the highest level.”
On Rangnick :
“He told us we didn’t need to follow our striker when he goes to the toilet and we can defend as a back four and defend spaces and brought big success to the little club where we played.
When he managed Stuttgart he opened the door for me to the academy. From there I tried to be the best possible and of course he had his fantastic record in Germany to bring clubs to the very highest level and to build club from scratch.
It is nice to see him, we will maybe have time for a chat, five minutes but contact is not on a daily or weekly basis.”
