'My fault' - Tuchel takes blame for Giroud absence with Abraham set to return for Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel has explained why Olivier Giroud has an unused substitute in Chelsea's last four games, and who will be available for the upcoming FA Cup quarter-final clash with Sheffield United.

The 34-year-old striker scored a stunning acrobatic volley away at Atletico Madrid which has helped the Blues through to the Champions League last eight for the first time in seven years. They face Porto in the next round.

However, the 2018 World Cup winner will be hoping for a rare start under Tuchel in a competition that he has won four times.
