“The management is not allowing me to use him and I am not sure why. He is really is eager to return but this restriction is really affecting him and the whole team. If he was present in our last match, I’m sure things woundn’t have ended this way” – Mauricio Pochettino states that, at present, he is facing restrictions in deploying a 24-year-old Chelsea player.
Mauricio Pochettino, the head coach of Chelsea, asserts that the club's medical staff has been preventing him from fielding Trevoh Chalobah.

The 24-year-old player has yet to participate in any minutes this season as he continues his recovery from a prolonged injury.
The adaptable defender, proficient in both center-back and right-back positions, is a skillful player nurtured in Chelsea’s academy.
Although there were rumors about his possible departure from Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window, he remained with the team beyond the deadline.
Consequently, the question arises: can he secure a spot in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans once he has regained fitness and becomes available again?
Trevoh Chalobah’s return to play will be a significant positive development.
It appears imminent as suggested by journalist Ben Jacobs, who recently reported that Chalobah, despite receiving transfer interest, was content staying with Chelsea beyond January.
Reportedly, he expresses a preference for joining a new club competing in European competitions.
Considering that his sale would contribute to a direct profit for the club, it wouldn’t be unexpected if these upcoming months mark his final period in a Chelsea jersey.
Nonetheless, there is a belief that he can still provide valuable assistance to the squad during his remaining time with the team.
