Chelsea’s training session : Manager’s take
Head coach Mauricio Pochettino was questioned about the possibility of Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia making their debut against Brighton. He didn’t gave a confirmation though.
” We have one more session before the match. We will assess these players then decide what is to be done. To be honest, Lavia’s return seems a bit skeptical. Speaking about Nkunku, we have tomorrow to decide.” – Mauricio Pochettino said.
If we go according to the coach’s statement, there’s a high probability that the Frenchman will make his debut against Brighton. However, we can’t fully predict what’s gonna happen as it completely depends on the player and the coach to decide about this matter. Moreover, even if these 2 players don’t get their debut tomorrow, they’ll get extra time to recover and work on their strengths and weaknesses.
