Andreas Christensen\u2019s contract issue<\/h2>\n

Andreas Christensen had a solid start to the 2021\/22 campaign, slotting in well at the centre of Chelsea\u2019s three-man defence.<\/p>\n

However, the Dane has seemingly fallen down the pecking order under Thomas Tuchel, with the veteran defender Thiago Silva instead, somewhat surprisingly, often taking the place of Christensen in the starting eleven of late.<\/p>\n

In fact, Christensen has not started in any of Chelsea\u2019s last four league ties, and in the Blues last eight PL games, the stopper has been afforded 90 minutes on just two occasions.<\/p>\n

An explanation for Christensen becoming something of a fringe star has already seemingly been provided, with the Dane\u2019s lack of minutes looking to have something to do with his contract expiring in the summer and him not signing a new one yet:<\/p>\n

Thomas Tuchel confirms Andreas Christensen hasn\u2019t featured in the last three #CFC<\/a> games due to his contract standoff with the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the hope it influences the contract situation a little bit,\u201d Tuchel said.<\/p>\n
