Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he is not disappointed that the deadline for bidders to buy the club has been extended, despite the risk of continued distraction for him and his players.
Chelsea have lost their last two games – 4-1 to Brentford in the Premier League and 3-1 to Real Madrid in the Champions League – and are looking to bounce back on the pitch at Southampton on Saturday.
Off the pitch, there are four parties interesting in buying the club and their deadline has been pushed back towards the end of next week.
