MY DARLING CHELSEA FANS,THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE OUR NEXT GAME.
🎙Mauricio Pochettino's Full Pre-Fulham Press Conference:
🔹Mauricio Pochettino: "Bad news [on Chilwell]. The doctor told me is it is a bad injury but we need to assess in the next few days. It's difficult to know. We need to assess in the next few days. The club will communicate."
🔹Mauricio Pochettino: "Maybe Chukwuemeka and Noni Madueke will be available for selection on Monday. Reece James maybe the week after."
🔹Mauricio Pochettino: "It was a very important victory [against Brighton]. The effort was fantastic and now this can make us stronger and be confident for Monday."
🔹Mauricio Pochettino on not playing with a striker: "The most important thing is to adapt, the squad needs to find a way to perform, that is the most important [thing]. We can play with one striker or maybe we can play without a striker. I think it is still a few days and I need to see and assess the squad about this situation."
🔹Mauricio Pochettino: "The relationship and the communication is very good with the owners and the sporting directors. Now we need to work on recovering Christopher Nkunku and Armando Broja, but also identify how to improve the team [in January]."
🔹Mauricio Pochettino: "I'm so happy with Cole Palmer's performance. After only a few weeks with us he was able to perform very well. For sure he has a possibility to start on Monday."
🔹Mauricio Pochettino on Nicolas Jacksons fifth yellow card: "We talk a lot between the players and us, the coaching staff. It's things you cannot stop. He is very anxious to score and do well, so sometimes you forget things. He is growing. Now we are going to miss him on Monday but after the goal he scored against Brighton, I hope his confidence will be better."
🔹Mauricio Pochettino on Reece James and Ben Chilwell both missing: "In all the clubs, important players you always miss when they don't play. Of course we always miss top players. When they are at their best, of course they are some of the best in the world. All of the team, we miss some important players. There's only one Reece James and one Ben Chilwell. The club tried with Malo Gusto, Marc Cucurella and Levi can play there."
🔹Mauricio Pochettino: "I don't know what is going to happen [between Reece James and the FA], I hope he can be involved with the team as soon as possible. I didn't see the incident."
🔹 Mauricio Pochettino speaking more on Ben Chilwell's injury: "Yes [it's the same leg as last season]. I think so. It's the mechanism of the action. He was a little bit unlucky in the way he suffered the injury. It's very sad because he was doing a very good game."
