Thomas Tuchel has called on his Chelsea players to use the pain of our FA Cup final defeat to Leicester as motivation ahead of the two sides meeting in the Premier League tomorrow evening.
The Blues welcome the Foxes to Stamford Bridge for a huge game in the race for a top-four finish, with the fixture coming off the back of Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley in which Leicester edged by a single goal.
Tuchel has reiterated how mentally strong his players are though and believes the focus on our remaining goals will not change.
‘There is no reason to doubt these players, who have done so well to get into the top four from 10th place, to reach the FA Cup final and to be in the final of the Champions League.
‘We are strong enough to handles these situations and these are the challenges that we face. It’s not easy, but it is fun, and there are a lot of teams chasing us and our situation.’
One player who has been key to the resurgence under Tuchel has been Mason Mount, with the midfielder proving how important he is to the team time and time again.
