Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino recently had a conversation with 21-year-old player Noni Madueke concerning his behavior after a video surfaced of the young talent enjoying a night out while recovering from a slight injury that caused him to miss the last three games for the England Under-21 team. Pochettino emphasized that Madueke has been diligent in his efforts to recover and get back on the field.
Approximately ten days ago, Madueke returned from the national holiday, and his health has improved since then. Pochettino acknowledged the player’s determination to compete and contribute to the team. However, he also expressed his concern over the surfaced video, advising all Chelsea players to exercise caution and avoid engaging in such activities that could potentially jeopardize their professional image and commitment to the team.
During a press conference, Pochettino noted that although the video incident was not a major issue, it’s crucial for players to steer clear of situations like these. He emphasized the importance of responsible behavior and the need for players to understand the significance of upholding the values and standards expected of a Chelsea player. The manager mentioned that they will assess Madueke’s fitness as he continues his recovery from the national team duties.
