Chelsea Star Man Cole Palmer was taken off against Sheffield United because of suspected fatigue, according to Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino. In the 74th minute, he was withdrawn from the clash against Sheffield United, Mauricio Pochettino cleared the air by saying…
“No, no, no. I think he was tired. My feeling was he was tired. 2-1 for us….
Carney is another No.10 who can play there and do the job. Yes, I think we are happy with him.
“We need to protect him. He got a knock against Manchester United and was a little bit more tired than normal, but we wanted to protect him after scoring the second goal. Trying to avoid a problem for the future.”
Cole Palmer provided assist for Madueke to score a wonderful second goal for Chelsea, Noni thought won the game for Mauricio Pochettino’s side with a wonderful second-half strike after Jayden Bogle had levelled the scores after an early Thiago Silva goal.
But Chelsea’s late collapse killed any momentum earned from beating Manchester United with a stunning late show at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.
The blues will be hoping to bounce back as they host Everton at Stamford Bridge on the 15th April having already lost the first leg 2-0 at Goodison park in December.
