Thomas Tuchel blames injuries on City and Liverpool getting ahead of Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel has suggested his Chelsea side have fallen behind Manchester City and Liverpool in the title race simply because of injuries.

After a recent spate of faltering results, including defeat to West Ham and a European draw with Zenit St Petersburg, Chelsea came unstuck on Thursday night and had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Everton at home.

The result came after the Blues recently needed a last-gasp injury time penalty to defeat Leeds United 3-2, and now Tuchel has pointed out what he thinks is going wrong.
