Every word a smiley Mauricio Pochettino said on naughty Chelsea, Chalobah, Lavia, James and more

A very smiley Mauricio Pochettino addressed the media on Friday afternoon with his Chelsea side returning to action at the weekend. The sunshine in Cobham must have put the Blues head coach in a very pleasant mood. Here's every word from Pochettino.

How is Romeo Lavia?

«We are really disappointed because he was training really well last week in the international break. He twisted his ankle and now we are waiting for the results on Monday from the doctor. We hope it's not a big issue but in the last week he has not been training with the team.

»It's a sad situation because he was nearly fit to be involved again with the team. Yes, now we need to wait and hopefully it's not a big issue for him and the team of course."

Is the six weeks figure true?

«We don't know because we need to assess him. He twisted his ankle and now we need to assess him. We do not know the time for him to recover.»

Armando Broja, the Albanian FA chief suggested he could be on the bench on Sunday...

«Who said that? Who is the Albanian FA? The coach? The president? I didn't hear. It's not [true]. Not yet.»

Badiashile, too?

«Not yet. The same situation.»

Is Enzo Fernandez ready to start after arriving late back?

«Today, he's good. He's in a good mood, has a good energy. He scored against Bolivia. Yes, I think he's in a very good mood and I think he is ready.»

Is Moises the same?

«Moises, we need to assess him because he was a little bit later than Enzo, but hopefully yes, he will be fit to play.»
