Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has admitted that he has one eye on Sunday's match against Tottenham Hotspur while explaining Matteo Kovacic's absence for Tuesday's Brighton clash.
Kovacic has excelled this season, consistently performing in the middle of the park, providing an impressive two goals and five assists in just 14 Premier League starts.
However, the Croatia international was left on the bench for the outing to the Amex Stadium, with N'Golo Kante and Jorginho starting in his place.
