Xabi Alonso says he will analyse how to ensure Chelsea’s squad players are more impactful, after needing to substitute four of them at half-time to avoid defeat in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup match against Leeds United.
The Blues were 1-0 down at half-time when Alonso replaced Estevao, Jamie Gittens, Malo Gusto and 16-year-old debutant Reggie Watson with the established quartet of Reece James, Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Pedro Neto.
