Thomas Tuchel has admitted feeling 'very tired' by Chelsea's recent fixture pile-up and insisted a top-four finish was still far from guaranteed.
The Blues' 4-2 defeat at home to Arsenal on Wednesday night was their fifth in 15 days - a stretch which included both ties of the Champions League quarter-finals and an FA Cup semi-final - and the German conceded the fixture congestion had taken its toll from a mental standpoint.
'We only had two days between the games coming from Wembley and I felt very tired after the Southampton, Real Madrid and then the Wembley game,' Tuchel said in his press conference on Friday.
