Tuchel: It was a difficult decision to leave Abraham out of Chelsea squad against Man Utd

Thomas Tuchel says it was a "difficult decision" to leave Tammy Abraham out of the squad for Sunday's 0-0 draw with Manchester United.

The striker was not part of the 18-man squad as the Blues shared the spoils with United in the Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.

It is the fourth time he has not featured for the London side this month, having been left on the bench in against Tottenham, Sheffield United and in the Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.
