Thomas Tuchel has criticised Chelsea's request to play their FA Cup quarter-final against Middlesbrough this weekend behind closed doors.
On Tuesday, the Blues asked the FA for the fixture to go ahead without fans 'for matters of sporting integrity' after they were not allowed to sell any more away tickets for the match due to the sanctions placed on owner Roman Abramovich.
However, they withdrew their appeal just hours later following talks with the governing body and amid backlash from Boro.
Tuchel was asked about the request after Chelsea's 2-1 win over Lille on Wednesday night and sought to distance himself from the saga.
