Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits he can't find room for Hakim Ziyech in his plans.

Ziyech has only started one Premier League match under the new Blues boss - and that was his first game in charge in a goalless draw against Wolves.

Tuchel said today: "It is my fault he is not playing much at the moment that I have picked Mason, Callum and Pulisic sometimes. These are hard decisions to make but it is a good thing because it means we have quality.

"There are some decisions for other players that means Hakim suffers at the moment.

"I can understand so it is my responsibility in this case that he cannot show more. When I look at the rhythm and schedule for the next days I am sure we will need all of our players."

Meanwhile, Tuchel admits Christian Pulisic's injury problems are a concern.

Tuchel has admitted the club must carefully manage Pulisic's fitness issues after the winger suffered a calf problem in training.

"It is our job to bring the best out of him," Tuchel said. "It is a challenge now to hold his level, to improve and maintain it.

"We are not worried or concerned, the medical department is on that.

"He stopped training yesterday, I would not say it is an injury, it is just risk management that relies on his history.

"The main thing for Christian is to stay positive."
