Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Frank Lampard\u2019s assistant at Chelsea, Jody Morris has revealed that outgoing defender, Andreas Christensen has a track record of pulling out of matches.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Denmark international pulled out of Thomas Tuchel\u2019s FA Cup final squad against Liverpool on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Chelsea went on to lose the match 6-5 on a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n

Tuchel was frustrated by the decision, arguing that while Christensen had his reasons for not wanting to play, Chelsea was left short at late notice by Dane\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n

Morris says the Dane did similar things during Lampard\u2019s short spell at Stamford Bridge between 2019 and 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be fair we experienced that (pulling out of matches) ourselves when we were here working with Andreas,\u201d Moris told Stadium Astro.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never know what some players are going through. Whether it be nerves, whether it be something off the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u2018We experienced it a few times with Andreas but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s the only player who experienced it. He\u2019s probably more honest about that sort of side of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christensen has already agreed on a deal to join Barcelona in the summer and Tuchel suggested on Wednesday that the Dane may have played his last game for the club.<\/p>\n
