Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has told fringe stars Conor Gallagher and Callum Hudson-Odoi that they must 'fight for their futures' at the club if they want to become regular starters.
Competition for places amidst a packed midfield is at an all-time within Tuchel's talented squad featuring a selection of international and trophy-laden stars at his disposal.
Gallagher was tipped to thrive in Chelsea's midfield this season following his hugely successful loan spell at Crystal Palace last season where he became one of Patrick Vieira's best players, scoring eight Premier League goals and registering three assists.
