Chelsea boss Tuchel confirms Christensen leaving

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has confirmed Andreas Christensen will leave this summer.

Off contract in June, the Denmark defender is said to have agreed a Bosman move to Barcelona.

Christensen shocked Chelsea teammates on the weekend when he pulled out of the FA Cup final and left the team hotel.

Asked about the situation, Tuchel confirmed: “After this season, we will lose Tony Rudiger and we will lose Christensen."

The stopper isn't expected to play for the club again.
