Romelu Lukaku & Timo Werner pay the price for Thomas Tuchel's lack of rotation

Romelu Lukaku & Timo Werner pay the price for Thomas Tuchel's lack of rotation

Coming soon to 'images that precede unfortunate events' on Twitter is the following extract from Thomas Tuchel's press conference ahead of Chelsea's 4-0 win against Malmo.

"It is difficult to judge whether he needs a break or is it better to keep him on the pitch," Tuchel said.

"At this moment, I feel Romelu is a bit overplayed. I think he played in too many competitions over the summer, too many competitions with his country. He played the Nations League and he is a fantastic athlete and such a competitive guy that he never takes it easy.

"He wants to be out there and win. He wanted to have a good outcome for the European Championship with Belgium and now in the Nations League it was a huge match for him, it meant a lot personally to play for his country so he takes it seriously.

"If that does not work well he always puts it on his shoulders. He reflects about it and I feel him [being] mentally tired."
