Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said that uncertainty over Russian owner Roman Abramovich's future in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine was weighing on the club ahead of their League Cup final against Liverpool on Sunday.

Abramovich, who bought Chelsea Football Club in 2003, has not faced any sanctions yet, but was named in Parliament on Thursday as Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled Britain's largest-ever package of sanctions against Russia.
