“I can’t bench him for you no matter how bad he plays, he will always start all matches for Chelsea except when he’s injured”- Mauricio Pochettino says he has an untouchable player he can never sub off after snubbing a player who was already on the touch line against Newscattle

Pochettino was dissatisfied with the 23-year-old Chelsea player following their loss to Newcastle.

Mauricio Pochettino expressed his displeasure with Reece James following yesterday’s 4-1 setback for Chelsea to Newcastle United.

Reece James and Chelsea had a forgettable afternoon as the right-back received his departure orders for the day subsequent to amassing two yellow cards.

During an interview with football.london and other media agencies following the match, Mauricio Pochettino expressed his strong opinion regarding the dismissal of his captain.

James will therefore miss the upcoming Sunday’s Premier League match between Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Mauricio Pochettino expressed discontent regarding Reece James.

Pochettino believes that the red card issued to James could have been prevented.

“Disappointed,” the Argentine was quoted as saying by football.london in reference to the dismissal of the 23-year-old. “Observe, this sort of thing occurs in football. We are obviously disappointed because we had hoped to complete the season with a single player, but such is life and we must accept it.”

Mauricio Pochettino’s dissatisfaction with Reece James is warranted.

Alan Shearer believed James had a difficult time against Newcastle; consequently, James failed his manager.

His second yellow card, which he received for tripping Anthony Gordon, was completely unwarranted and has now placed Pochettino in a predicament prior to the match against Brighton.

Marc Cucurella, who received his fifth caution of the season, will also be suspended for that match. Furthermore, Malo Gusto’s fitness to participate is uncertain, as he was substituted from the squad for yesterday’s loss due to injury.

James should be performing better as captain and not become so readily frustrated. Some will begin to question whether the England international has the maturity to command this Chelsea squad at the age of 23. Based on yesterday’s performance, the answer would be no.

However, perhaps he can gain insight from this and develop into a more judicious player.

Due to the fact that James is among the greatest players for Chelsea, the defender is essential. Although little can be done about the injuries he has been sustaining, the decision to be sent off or remain on the pitch ultimately rests with him.
