Chelsea boss Pochettino: Academy kids will get chance here

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says there'll be room for the club's academy players in his squad.

Pochettino insists he's keeping tabs on their young talent.

He said: "Coaching staff are working close to the academy, we invite young players every week to train with us, it's a great opportunity for them to train with us.

"Chelsea have one of the best academies in England if not the world. It's our responsibility to take care of these guys and pay attention to them.

"They will have the opportunity to play on the squad one day, they just need to keep training, being consistent.

"We can see their evolution from them competing with senior players."

Pochettino also said: "It should be fair for us to have a fit squad. We can't prove that we are a good squad and that we can compete for big things.

"It's very tough when you don't have the squad fit. We want to increase the competition between them, but that's not an excuse."
