The Argentine was speaking in an interview on the official website of Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino spoke about how the Blues are competing with the top teams in the Premier League, according to him, the team need to get back its first-team players who are currently on the injury list.
“First of all, we need to recover all the players, we have many injured players, key players that can’t compete and train with us. And that is so important. You can see how different a club like Manchester City, the effect when there is no Rodri “the brain”, and it is only one player. For us, we are missing many players, key players that can help to develop and improve the team faster. Yes, when we recover all the players, yes for sure, we will be ready to compete with big teams. Even now we need to believe that we can compete with the big teams.”
