Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has blamed injuries as the ‘story of the season’ and the reason why his side fell behind Liverpool and Manchester City in the title race.
Tuchel was speaking after Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford where they largely dominated with 21 shots to their hosts six. The German has seen his side's title challenge falter over recent months.
Chelsea had shot out of the blocks this season and were top of the league after 14 games of the campaign. In fact, after their 2-2 draw with Liverpool on January 2, Chelsea were one point clear of the Reds. However, poor form and injuries have taken their toll and now Chelsea trail Liverpool by 13 points and City by 14. Chelsea have also only scored 68 goals compared to Liverpool's 85 and City's 80.
