Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek says Thomas Tuchel cancelling day off was not seen as 'punishment'

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has denied claims that Chelsea players felt 'punished' after being called in by Thomas Tuchel on their day off from training.

Tuchel admitted he risked the wrath of his players by cancelling their rest day on Sunday, a stern reaction to their disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Wolves 24 hours earlier.

Despite leading 2-0 with little over 10 minutes of normal time remaining, the Blues somehow left Stamford Bridge with just a point after Francisco Trincao pulled one back and Conor Coady equalised in the 97th minute.
