The Spanish full-back is eager for a new challenge this summer, and Barcelona are interested in his signature. Speaking after the win over Everton, Tuchel said that Alonso would have started against Everton had he not expressed a desire to leave. "That is the case.

In this situation, it’s (not playing him) the right thing to do," said Tuchel.

"Maybe, I never worked with a player in general that age. So he is the fittest one I’ve trained at that age. In general, all three of our players in the back three were in their thirties; the two number sixes are in their thirties, and we could see that we struggled a bit physically at the end of the match," said Tuchel. He continued: “We need to improve our physical level, and we will improve. We can be confident we will improve, and we are on it. Thiago is a key, key player in the middle of the defence right now, but we need to move on the ball, not off the ball, to invest more physically with more runs. That will come with more training and more games.” Paul Merson predicts Arsenal vs Liverpool and other EPL GW 10 fixtures!
