Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has said that he ‘trusts’ the
UK government to find a solution that will keep the club going after
sanctioning its owner Roman Abramovich.
Tuchel wants the government to find a solution that will
give Chelsea the possibility to be in charge of their actions in the summer.
The German said this during his pre-match press conference
on Friday, ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Newcastle United on
Sunday.
Abramovich was finally sanctioned by
the UK government on Thursday.
The Russian billionaire had his assets frozen and has been
prohibited from making transactions with UK individuals and businesses.
Abramovich’s sanctions also mean that Chelsea would not be
able to sign new players but can continue to operate its day-to-day business
such as fixtures and pay players their weekly wages after being given a licence
by the government.
“It’s maybe way too early to talk about it. I don’t know
exactly the rules about the current situation and I think, as the statement
said from the club, there are negotiations and talks going on about the
licence. So let’s see what’s coming,” Tuchel said.
“It makes not a lot of sense for me to comment on the
situation now and give an outlook to the future in the summer. I trust in
everybody who is in charge, I trust people who are in charge in the government
to find a solution that keeps us going through the season, and gives us the
possibility to be in charge of our actions in the summer.
“I think this is what we can do now. We were all surprised
by the news and it is too early to have an outlook on the summer I guess
