(Video): Thomas Tuchel defends Saul – but can’t say he will be at Chelsea next season

Tuchel was very positive about the midfielder’s overall contribution, but of course steered away from making any promises about what would happen with the Atletico man in the summer.

You can see the coach speaking in the clip embedded here, with these words coming after 3 minutes:
