Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he doesn't want to hear excuses from his players at this stage of the season.
Chelsea again stumbled for their 2-2 draw with Wolves on Saturday.
It was suggested some of the squad may be feeling more pressure and be playing for their futures at the Bridge.
However, Tuchel insists that is nothing out of the ordinary at this stage of the season, with the players used to constant speculation and scrutiny on their performances.
"It's always like this at the end of the season," he said. "If you sign for Chelsea and you play at this kind of level a part of it is that it is not always easy and it's not always enjoyable. It's tough, it's tiring, it's draining and that's what you need to accept at this kind of level."
