"He played a good match again, very good — [I’m] very happy that he did so," Thomas Tuchel told Chelsea TV when asked to rate Malang Sarr's performance against Tottenham.
"Like all the matches when we needed him, he was reliable, he was there.
"I have the feeling that he knows his role very clearly, he appreciates being in the team and when necessary, he steps up and shows he can be a strong teammate and a strong player."
Sarr joined Chelsea as a free agent in 2020 but spent his first season on the club's books out on loan at Porto.
This season, the 22-year-old has featured six times for the Blues, including just one Premier League appearance. Still, it sounds like Tuchel is confident that Sarr can do a job when asked to which might mean more appearances for him in the future.
