Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel played down the need to sign new players.

The Blues were thrashed 3-0 by Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday.

Tuchel told reporters after the match at Leeds: "The transfer period is still open and it gets later and later and we need to focus on what we have and what we can do."

The German added that he believed Chelsea could have won the match in Yorkshire.

"Everything was going well. I still believe we can win with this team in Leeds. It is more our fault than anybody else's credit," Tuchel said.

"There's no time to be shocked. For 20 minutes, we did it. But then we did stuff that cost us the dominance and chance to create more chances.

"But still, we did not invite pressure or create chances. We were not under pressure or in chaos."
