Thomas Tuchel has told his players to forget about the Euros and focus solely on Chelsea now.
“I know well that the players have personal interests and this is OK,” Tuchel said. “I hope they fight for their personal interests. I really hope they give out their very best.
“Their personal interest is to be on the pitch for Chelsea and hopefully be on the pitch for their national team. That shows their ambition and quality.
“In my job as manager of Chelsea I cannot be influenced by a decision that has an impact on the national coach’s decision or a player’s future with his national team.
“To be honest, I’d like to play them here, then they can all stay with me during the summer. Relax on their vacations and then come for pre-season.
“That would be my personal choice but this will not happen. I am aware of it, but not in the way that can influence my choice.
“My choices are made to win games with Chelsea and nothing else.”
The Euros are in the summer later this year and many Chelsea players are in contention to represent their national teams.
