Jody Morris: Christensen Would Pull Out Of Game Too Under Lampard

Thomas Tuchel made it known after Chelsea's FA Cup defeat to Liverpool that Christensen has omitted himself from several squads this season - including the FA Cup final.

Morris, who was Lampard's assistant and right-hand man during his time as Chelsea manager between 2019 and 2021, has confirmed Christensen did the same while they were there.

Speaking to Stadium Astro, he said: "To be fair we experienced that [pulling out of matches] ourselves when we were here working with Andreas.

"You never know what some players are going through. Whether it be nerves, whether it be something off the pitch.

"We experienced it a few times with Andreas but I don't think he's the only player who experienced it.

"He's probably more honest about that sort of side of it."

Christensen is expected to join Barcelona on a free transfer at the end of the season when his contract expires.
