Mauricio Pochettino has laid down the law to Chelsea’s young players after admonishing Noni Madueke for being caught partying while he was injured.
Madueke has not played since picking up a muscle injury while on duty with England Under-21s this month and there was intrigue over his failure to make the bench when Chelsea beat Brighton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Pochettino said the winger’s absence was down to fitness rather than indiscipline, but the head coach made it clear that he had seen a video of the former PSV Eindhoven player partying.
