Thomas Tuchel makes sad claim over Callum Hudson-Odoi and Olivier Giroud after Arsenal loss

Chelsea suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of Arsenal, as Emile Smith Rowe netted the only goal of the night. Callum Hudson-Odoi and Olivier Giroud were handed a rare chance to play for the Blues on Wednesday and after the match head coach Thomas Tuchel has talked about their game. Chelsea boss hailed the duo however, was sad they didn't manage to change the game in the favour of them. "It is not hard," said Tuchel. "They are professionals for Chelsea, it is the opposite of hard. They have the best situation that you can have as footballers. As a striker sometimes two minutes can change a whole life and career. It is not hard at all. "They deserve to come on, deserve to play. Had a chance to play it was super tough, but this is how it is. You sign up for the biggest challenge, you sign up for one of the toughest competitions within a team and we cannot let everybody start so once I have the feeling they can help us from the bench it is like this. "When I have the feeling they can help us from the start I will play them from the start. It is nothing you cannot handle. They work hard for this and everything is ok. I am sad because I thought maybe they could have the magic touch today to help us to win at least a point, but it is not their fault."
