Thomas Tuchel eager to keep want-away Chelsea stars amid injury crisis, with Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi still attracting interest as the transfer window nears its conclusion

Thomas Tuchel says he will not be encouraging any of his want-away or wanted players to leave after being hit by a number of injuries.

A string of Chelsea stars are either keen to move on themselves to play more often or being targeted by other clubs ready to offer more regular football including Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Trevor Chalobah, Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja and Billy Gilmour.

But injuries to N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Broja and Pulisic have reduced Tuchel’s options this week and his desire to sanction any departures.
