Tuchel finally respond to Tammy Abraham’s girlfriend critics after striker was dropped for FA Cup final
Tammy Abraham’s girlfriend, Leah Monroe, slammed Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel for snubbing the Chelsea striker for the 1-0 FA Cup final defeat to Leicester.
Despite his lack of recent of opportunities, the 23-year-old remains his club’s top goalscorer this season having found the back of the net on 12 occasions in all competitions.
Abraham scored his first senior hat-trick in the fourth round win over Luton, which transpired to be Lampard’s final game at the helm, and also scored the winner in a 1-0 fifth round win over Barnsley at Oakwell.
Despite his exploits in the FA Cup this season, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel failed to even name the England striker on the bench in the FA Cup final against Leicester City.
Asked after the game if Abraham simply wasn’t a player for him, Tuchel told Stadium Astro: “No, it’s just hard decisions on a matchday when you can only nominate 18 players.”
