Every word Mauricio Pochettino said on Enzo, Caicedo, Ugochukwu, Nkunku role and Chelsea targets

Mauricio Pochettino spoke to the media after Chelsea's defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he previewed the Blues' Premier League match with Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Chelsea's terrible form on the road continued but Pochettino will be desperate to build on his side's recent performances at Stamford Bridge.

Goals from Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty cancelled out Christopher Nkunku's first goal for the Blues on Christmas Eve. Pochettino will be hoping his side are able to be more clinical in front of goal against Palace after a really frustrating afternoon at Molineux.

With that being said, football.london brings you every word from Pochettino's post-match press conference from Christmas Eve. The Chelsea head coach reviews the Wolves defeat and looks ahead to the challenge of Crystal Palace.

How is Lesley [Ugochukwu] and how is Moises [Caicedo] and Enzo [Fernandez]? Can they play against Palace?

«No, Enzo no. But Mo, hopefully yes. Today he was better, yesterday [Saturday] he was a possibility – but it's a high fever. I hope he can train a little bit and be ready for Palace.»

«With Lesley, we will assess him tomorrow, but I think he felt his hamstring again. I said in the press conference it is important how we reintroduce players, but we were forced because of the problem with Moises to play Lesley.
