Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Andreas Christensen withdrew in the first half due to an injury during his defeat to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues suffered a tough loss to Mikel Arteta’s side, who entered the match after losing their last three jump matches, thanks to an Eddie Nketiah brace as well as goals from Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka.
And it was Christensen who gave the Gunners their early momentum, with a woeful back pass that allowed Eddie Nketia to steal in his first game.
The defender, who struggled in the first half, was removed in the first half, and Tuchel was quick to point out that it was an injury and not the result of his subpar performance.
Tuchel says Christensen succumbed to the injury and stayed for treatment. He went on to blame the pitch for his mistake, covering it up completely, saying the pitch is generally a problem for Chelsea. “It is a very difficult match here. It is not in our interest.” #CFC

This was the problem that made him fail to come off the bench in the second half as well, instead of staying in the dressing room for treatment.
Chelsea sees records falter
By falling to Arsenal, Chelsea set a pair of unwanted records in the process of losing 4-2 to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
They lost their third game in a row at home for the first time since 1993-94, while this also means that they have conceded 4 goals in consecutive domestic league matches for the first time since the 89-90 season, before the start of the Premier League.

In many ways, the performance and result were somewhat expected by the blues. The Blues are comfortable in third place in the Premier League, not jeopardizing the fleeing duo of Manchester City and Liverpool above them and not much in danger of being drawn into the battle of European football, with a five-point cushion on the sides below them. .
