The Blues’ 14-game unbeaten run was put to a shocking end by Sam Allardyce’s West Bromwich Albion, who put five goals past them. Prior to the 5-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge, Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea had only shipped two goals since the German’s arrival and not conceded at home.

Obviously, stories around the media were centred around Chelsea’s top four chances, Tammy Abraham’s omission from the match day squad again and a reported training ground feud between Kepa Arrizabalaga and Antonio Rudiger on Sunday.

On that note, we take you through the main Chelsea news stories as of April 6, 2021.

Chelsea boss Tuchel comments on Kepa-Rudiger bust-up

Chelsea duo Kepa Arrizabalaga and Antonio Rudiger were at the heart of a heated moment on the training ground the day after the team’s sorrowful defeat against the Baggies.

And today, Tuchel informed that while the situation got heated, both players handled it professionally. In what was an honest admission to the media ahead of Chelsea’s UCL first leg, Tuchel said:

He added:

Sergio Aguero interested to hear from Chelsea

Chelsea are being tipped as the favourites to sign Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero, after his club announced that he would be leaving at the end of the season when his contract expires.

The four-time Premier League champion has netted a staggering 181 goals in the division across 272 matches - a record that, in fact, speaks very little of the world-class abilities of the Chelsea target.

And today, the Evening Standard reported that Aguero is very tempted by the prospect of joining Chelsea, as it could help him break Alan Shearer’s all-time record of 260 PL goals.

Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the parties keen on snapping up the forward, besides Chelsea.

Thomas Tuchel earlier confirmed that Christian Pulisic, N’Golo Kante and Tammy Abraham will all feature in Chelsea’s match day squad against FC Porto.

In his press conference earlier, the Chelsea gaffer revealed:

While Kante endured a hamstring strain during the international break, Pulisic was taken off at half time in Chelsea’s previous game.
