Business or pleasure? Chelsea chief Marina Granovskaia takes Thomas Tuchel and his backroom staff out for dinner in London as they eye Club World Cup and Carabao Cup glory this month after dropping off the pace in the Premier League

Thomas Tuchel and his backroom staff enjoyed a meal out with Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia in London ahead of their return to action this weekend.

The German boss was pictured with Granovskaia and a number of his first-team staff in a busy restaurant in the capital on Wednesday night.

Tuchel is known to boast a strong professional relationship with both Granovskaia and Chelsea technical director Petr Cech since replacing Frank Lampard as boss just over 12 months ago.
