Chelsea star Romeo Lavia was pictured training at Cobham today ahead of Sunday EPL game against Man City at Stamford bridge. Chelsea Boss Pochettino: “Roméo Lavia, close to returning as he was training today”. “Hopefully next week he will be involved with the team, then assess when he can help the team”.
Pochettino on Reece James: “It’s never the decision of the player in these cases; it’s about to assess”. “The medical, sport science, coaching staff take the decisions”. “He's desperate to go the national team. He wanted to go. But we take the best decision for him”.
Chelsea confirm Christopher Nkunku’s absence for Man City game, sources expect him back beginning of December. Chalobah, Chilwell, Carney, Fofana, Lavia, Nkunku all mentioned as still not available.
Chelsea star Raheem Sterling will face no further action having been investigated by the FA for allegedly throwing a missile into the crowd.
Pochettino: “Chelsea is never the feeling of the underdog. The feeling always is you are Chelsea. When you say “Chelsea it is impossible” the history is there. I think we can’t go and say we are the victim on Sunday, we need to go and try to be a protagonist.”
