Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is known for his honesty when
talking about his players in public as he once again addresses Tammy Abraham role
and why he was left out of the team.
Thomas Tuchel revealed during
his press conference today that Tammy Abraham has not had the impact he demands
from him which has led to him not giving him much chance after he return from
injury.
The 23-year-old remains
Chelsea’s top goalscorer this season with 12 goals in 30 games despite not
getting much game time throughout the new manager tenure which was due to
injury for the most part.
It has been a really tough one
for the England striker who haven’t been named in the starting lineup since
making his return from a short spell injury which have seen him miss couple of
games.
It was suggested that Thomas Tuchel would start him against West Brom which they lost, but to the surprise of many
Tammy Abraham has left out once again and it has drawn lots of attention.
The striker
will be hoping to make return as he is desperate with Euro 2020 tournament
coming up and national teams manager will be shortlisting their full team
lists.
Thomas Tuchel
on the other hand went on saying why he dropped him and that he won’t pick a
player based on their ambitions to make the national team as he is the manager
and he knows best.

‘I don’t
select players based on their personal goals,’ Tuchel said on Friday.
‘Kepa wants to
be the first choice goalkeeper for Spain but it can’t influence my decision.
‘I am doing what I believe is best for Chelsea now. Tammy has
had some difficulties. He started two or three times and subbed off at
Half-time.
‘He’s not impressed like we demand from him. He later got
injured, lost the energy and possibility to fight for a spot in the squad.
‘Now we’re in a decisive part of
the season, where it’s not so easy to start players coming back from injuries.
We can only make three changes during a match.
‘It’s left for Tammy
to do everything. We have 22 players and it’s hard to select only 18
for Premier League games.’
