Christensen asked to be substituted at half time during the Blues' 4-2 defeat to Arsenal last month due to injury, and also pulled out of the squad to face West Ham after suffering from stomach cramps.
The Dane is expected to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season and complete a move to Barcelona, with Chelsea boss Tuchel admitting that the London club might struggle to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City in the summer.
Speaking after the penalty shootout defeat to Klopp's side at the weekend, the German said: "It’s maybe impossible, I have to say."They are improving their squad in every transfer window. It seems like we are losing key players.
"We are losing Toni [Rudiger], we’re losing Andreas [Christensen]. This is tough and we already have a gap to close."
Chelsea have two remaining matches before the end of the campaign, hosting Leicester City on Thursday night before finishing their season at home to Watford. Related links:
