Thomas Tuchel has revealed Timo Werner told him he could not play in the FA Cup final after feeling discomfort in the pre-match warm-up.
Eyebrows were raised as to why the German wasn't summoned from the bench - particularly in extra-time - with Liverpool looking jaded.
Werner is one of the quickest attackers in the game and with the Reds seemingly there for the taking, Werner's absence seemed baffling.
Now Tuchel has offered an explanation as to why his compatriot did not feature at Wembley.... "Timo was injured and uncomfortable during the warm-up and said he could not play," he said.
