Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino insists the medical staff at the west London outfit are not responsible for the player’s injuries that have disrupted his start to life with the struggling English Football League side.
Pochettino only had 15 ready players during last weekend’s disappointing draw at Bournemouth.
After the club’s takeover from American Todd Buhle’s conglomerate in 2021, despite spending around $1.2 billion to attract new players, the Blue Team suffers from a major disadvantage.
He missed 12 players against Bournemouth, forcing Pochettino to call up three under-19 players who had not previously featured with the first team.
Residents of the team clinic include Frenchmen Christopher Ngungu and Wesley Fobana, Reece James, Belgian Romeo Lafia, Carne Chukwu, Emeka, Trevo Saloba and Ecuadorian Moise Caicedo with an impressive contract.
Ahead of Sunday’s clash against Aston Villa, Yadim is in fourteenth place with Chelsea having won five matches.
But Pochettino did not hold the medical staff accountable. “Before we came here, we did everything to analyze the risks to create a clear picture of the serious injuries that occurred last season.”
He continued, “It has to do with the player’s file, the risks he is exposed to. Not with the people working on the medical staff.”
He added, “I think we have to respect these professional and qualified departments of the club. That’s why they work in football. Players have individual risks that need to be analyzed.”
The former Tottenham coach concluded: “There’s also unhappiness. We’ve had injuries in a season or maybe two, but with Chelsea they’re out of control.”
