Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola broke down in tears as another 2 Key Man City player goes off injured during training ahead of FA Cup Clash with Newscastle, a very sad moment for City fans as the injury seems to be a career ending injury

Mauricio Pochettino has openly acknowledged the challenges some of Chelsea’s young players are facing in coping with the intense pressure associated with representing the team.

In the backdrop of another lavish summer of transfers, Pochettino, the Argentine manager, took the reins at Stamford Bridge. Under the ownership of Todd Boehly, Chelsea has undergone significant changes, signing a total of 28 players. Among the new arrivals this summer, only Alex Disasi and Christopher Nkunku exceed the age of 23.

Among these signings, Cole Palmer, 21, who arrived from Manchester City, has notably risen to prominence as Chelsea’s most valuable player. Topping the team’s goal-scoring charts and earning a place in the England squad, Palmer has demonstrated his ability to thrive under the pressures associated with playing for a club of Chelsea’s stature.

However, according to Pochettino, not all players in the squad share Palmer’s level of confidence. Addressing questions about Palmer’s success, Pochettino emphasized that each player experiences a unique journey in adapting to the demands of playing for Chelsea.

“We’re currently witnessing a phase where the core group of young players are naturally finding it challenging to cope with the expectations of representing Chelsea,” remarked Pochettino.

Acknowledging this reality, Pochettino expressed the club’s commitment to providing support to these players both on and off the pitch. This support extends beyond training sessions, with dedicated efforts to assist players in various aspects of their lives.

“Our aim is to facilitate their performance on the pitch by offering comprehensive support across all areas of their development,” explained Pochettino.

Looking ahead, Chelsea is set to face Leicester City in the FA Cup quarterfinals, a rematch of the thrilling championship encounter three years ago, where Youri Tielemans secured victory with a stunning late goal. Notably, only Reece James, Ben Chilwell, and Thiago Silva remain from Chelsea’s lineup in that memorable final, underscoring the significant changes the club has undergone since then.
