Tuchel questions Premier League decision on three substitutes

Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea’s manager, says he doesn’t understand why the Premier League won’t allow additional substitutes.

The German is displeased that only three substitutes are still permitted in the English Premier League, particularly amid the busy festive season and the onset of COVID.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager stated he couldn’t understand why England has fewer substitutes than the rest of Europe.

Chelsea played on Sunday and will play against Brighton on Wednesday night.

He said it makes no sense, but it’s a circumstance, and it’s concerning that they are struggling, that they have injuries, and that they have players who have been affected by Covid, and that they don’t have time to recover.

Tuchel admits that, they are in the midst of a bizarre situation in which all teams are severely impacted, and he doesn’t see why Premier League can’t employ the five changes, which were started in the UK when the coronavirus first appeared.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
