Chelsea defender Malang Sarr says he feels the support of manager Thomas Tuchel.

Sarr hopes to start against Brentford today.

"I feel like I have the trust of the manager and I am really grateful and really happy for that," enthuses Sarr to chelseafc.com.

"At the beginning of the season I was supposed to go on loan and have another season to work on my craft. In the end I was here and able to be a part of the squad, and the manager has shown me his trust. I work hard every day, and I can see I am being rewarded for that. It's a really good feeling.

"I know I can help in different positions, I know left-back is not my natural position but I try to bring the energy and play 100 per cent. For a player it's good, and as a manager I think it's good to have a player who you can count on whether he is playing in his position or not. Wherever the manager needs me to play, I will do it.'
