Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he'll drive the team bus if he has to for their Champions League trip to Lille.

There have been reports that Chelsea will not be able to afford a private jet and may have to travel to Lille on a budget airline.

It has been claimed they have been set a £20,000 per-match limit for spending for away games - meaning they will have to ditch the luxuries.

Despite the club being financially in limbo, Tuchel has revealed he is not concerned about the football side of things.

When asked if he was worried about getting to Wednesday's Champions League clash in Lille, Tuchel said: "Honestly, we love football, so if we have a plane, we'll go by plane.

"If not, we go by train and, if not, we go by bus and, if not, I'll drive a seven-seater!

"We will arrive in Lille because we love to play the competition.

"I know the matter is serious, I am joking, but I'm still confident things will be sorted out once we find a buyer.

"We need to have hope and we need to stay confident because we're a massive club.

"Hopefully there will be a light at the end of the tunnel."

When pushed for further updates on the club's situation, Tuchel continued: "There is not much news but hopefully the sale will come.

"I am not a person who worries too much. It is important to set the spirit and show that spirit for everyone working at Stamford Bridge and at Cobham.

"It is not just the first team. Others worry much more and for them it's important we show fighting spirit.

"Unfortunately, we cannot influence the situation, but that gives us the chance to put it aside and focus on the things we can influence."
