Poch: 'Injuries are not an excuse. It's a reality'

Chelsea have had an insane number of injuries this season and have been unable to count on starting XI players such as Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Christopher Nkunku and Ben Chilwell for extended periods of time.

Mauricio Pochettino insists that an assessment of each player's injury situation should be done after the end of the season.

"That is all about talking with the club and analysing and to design the strategy for the next season and go fight for big things," the Blues head coach said, as quoted by the Mirror.

"It's like we need to assess all the bodies. We need to assess why players were injured, the risk to suffer injuries in the future and the history of injuries within the club.

"For different reasons, I say this is an immature team because all the elements are not there to be more mature, to learn and evolve.

"But there are different circumstances that we are living [injuries] but I don't want to talk about it because it's like an excuse, excuse, excuse.

"No, it's not an excuse. That is the reality. It's a fact. That is part of the process. And of course, that this season is going to help us."
