Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino has already discovered a major weakness Chelsea had last season

Mauricio Pochettino has identified the fitness of Chelsea’s players as a real weakness in the opening weeks of pre-season.
This is according to a report by The Athletic.
Mauricio Pochettino’s teams are known to be very energetic and strong runners, so it is no surprise that he is already getting the Blues team back into shape.

The Athletic say Pochettino identified Chelsea’s squad fitness as one area that really hurt them last season.
The level of the player is believed to have had an impact on performance in games and the number of injuries sustained. The report says Chelsea are now closely monitoring the exercises players undertake during pre-season this summer, including work in the gym.
We expect the Blues to have a very successful new Blues squad by the start of the Premier League next month!

Many fans will agree that Chelsea were disappointed in the latter stages of last season, but we doubt Pochettino will settle for that during his tenure at the helm.

It’s an exciting time ahead of the five friendlies of this summer’s pre-season tour of the United States.
The Blues have now arrived in the United States with a very young roster of 29 players, so expect a lot of energy and real enthusiasm in the squad.
Journalist Matt Law recently explained on the London Is Blue podcast that Chelsea staff felt Pochettino hadn’t run too much in the first few weeks of his tenure. We can only wish the players good luck with their time in the US if that’s the case.
