Every word Mauricio Pochettino said on two Chelsea transfers, Petrovic, Lukaku and Luton

Nine senior players out injured at the moment, are any due back soon?

I think it is a bit unlucky in some injury like with Carney on Sunday. That is football. Better it happen from the beginning then we can be consistent with all of the players fit. It is true, a little bit unlucky with many of the injuries, the problems but I am positive and for sure we are going to compete well tomorrow.

Carney Chukwuemeka, what is the outlook for him?

I think it is not an issue that will take months, maybe weeks. I hope we can be as soon as possible with the team again.

Blow after a good start?

Yes, he scored and then he got injured. Things happen that you cannot manage. A little bit unlucky but I think he can become stronger because he feeling the way he needs to work and compete, he is young and for sure he will be much better when we start again.

Transfers?

It is open, the transfer window, and the club is working and yes some players are rumoured with the club, maybe true or not true, we will inform when something happens.

Djordje Petrovic?

I cannot confirm on players that do not belong to us.

He's having a medical?

He's here? I didn't know. Jesus maybe knows. He is not here.

Deivid Washington?

It is possible also but we cannot confirm, you try to push me to say something you know I cannot say.

Sorry to mention Romelu Lukaku again, have you had a conversation yet?

Do not be sorry, you need to ask me. No [conversation], the situation did not change. We will see what happens in the future but at the moment the situation did not change.
