Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has made a plea to the top brass to sort out the club's ownership.

Tuchel fears his squad will be broken up with Toni Rudiger and Andreas Christensen both expected to leave when their contracts expire in June.

He said: "It is my wish as a coach that we can solve the situation and that we get a clear direction to go in.

"If that does not happen, we will see similar situations as with AC (Andreas Christensen) And Toni (Antonio Rüdiger).

"It's just with other names. Then we get to talking about it again all winter, the agents start speaking out and so on. We would very much like to avoid that."
