One even predicted a summer swing of the axe, writing: “Even Tuchel is losing all patience with Jorginho. He’ll be gone in the summer I think.”
Despite Tuchel’s frustrations, Chelsea did book their place in the Wembley finale on May 14, where they will face a repeat of their Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool.
