Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says the club's staff are front of mind.
Tuchel has steadied the Stamford Bridge ship through the choppiest of waters and revealed his determination to provide a positive distraction for the club's 1,000-plus employees and fans alike.
“I have the feeling that it is our responsibility to focus on what we do well and that is football and doing everything to win matches," said Tuchel. “We can't influence the situation, we are not responsible for the situation.
“But we have our responsibility, because we are in the spotlight and we have these games.
“It's a responsibility to our talent but also to every employee of Chelsea. There are a lot of people that I see on a daily basis who are worried and who have worked here for decades.
"They are not so famous but they are worried for a pretty close future, they wonder if things will be alright.
“So for all of them, it's important to have the attitude right and also to focus on that and see the responsibility and what this means to these people. Even if it's just for 90 minutes."
