Thomas Tuchel has revealed Chelsea will be travelling to Middlesbrough by plane for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final showdown at the Riverside Stadium after amending their special Government licence.
The Blues' travel arrangements for this weekend's Cup fixture were unclear amid sanctions imposed on owner Roman Abramovich by the UK Government.
'Everybody worked hard to make it happen and it has gone through,' Tuchel said at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
'We can travel by plane which is very good as we only had the Lille match two days ago so we want to maximise the chance of recovery.
