Tuchel reveals player Chelsea missed during 4-2 defeat to Arsenal. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that Antonio Rudiger was missed by his team during their 4-2 Premier League home defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday.
Arsenal defeated Chelsea thanks to a brace from Eddie Nketiah and goals from Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.
Tuchel’s team did score at Stamford Bridge, thanks to Cesar Azpilicueta and Timo Werner.
Tuchel expressed his assessment of Rudiger’s absence against Arsenal in a post-match press conference.
Tuchel reveals player Chelsea missed during 4-2 defeat to Arsenal. Tuchel revealed ahead of the encounter that Rudiger would miss the match owing to a groin problem he suffered in the FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace last Saturday.
When questioned by Sky Sports if he felt Chelsea missed Rudiger because of defensive mistakes against Arsenal, Tuchel replied, “Of course.”
The German added: “We conceded seven goals with Toni against Brentford and Real Madrid, that answers the question. It’s not about individual players.
“A defensive performance is a team performance, and an offensive performance is a team performance. You need to have the tactics right, which is doubtful I had this right, and you need the team selection right, again it’s doubtful I had this right.” he said.
