Since that win over Spurs, Mount has started just two of Chelsea’s seven top-flight games, having struggled to recreate his form from previous campaigns.

His hat-trick against Norwich City remains his only goals in any competition this season, with the 22-year-old having notched only two assists on top of that.

With Mount struggling to create chances, Tuchel has opted to give his other attacking options a chance to shine.

But Tuchel’s decision has reportedly had a negative impact on Mount, who is thought to be growing increasingly frustrated with his role.

According to the Daily Star, Mount is feeling ‘under appreciated’ at Stamford Bridge due to the way he is treated compared to the club’s other big-name stars.
