Heartbreaking Reece James News has been announced by Chelsea Manager Mauricio Pochettino this Afternoon In a press conference concerning why he was taken off the pitch yesterday

Mauricio Pochettino is hoping that Reece James’ latest injury is not a big setback after the Chelsea captain sustained another hamstring injury in their 2-0 loss to Everton.

Pochettino also stated that the Blues should make more signings in the January transfer window, despite spending over £435 million over the summer. Chelsea is currently 12th in the Premier League, having won only one of their past five games, and Pochettino believes they want more firepower.

“After the first half of the season, we need to check,” he stated following Everton’s setback. “That is the truth. If we are not receiving enough, we may need to take action. That is something we will look into with the sporting directors to see if we can shift the dynamic and better in the second half of the season.

“We must be more aggressive.” Then it’s a tremendous evaluation, and we’ll see what we can do when the transfer window opens. I haven’t decided whether I’ll request more or fewer players. It’s to see if the perception corresponds to reality. Something is missing.”

Pochettino’s difficulties were compounded when goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and left-back Marc Cucurella were both pulled off during the game. “Robert Sanchez suffered a problem at Manchester United, it was an issue with his knee,” he went on to say.

“He felt something in the second half, which is why he requested the change.” We can only hope that it is not a major problem. Marc Cucurella, who twisted his ankle, is in the same boat. We trust that these problems are minor.

“These are the circumstances we have been dealing with since the start and it is too much for a young team that needs to have all the elements together if we want to build something solid.”
