NO MAUR BAD BOYS

Poch will trim down his squad to make sure only those who will fight get a chance

MAURICIO POCHETTINO has warned his Chelsea squad there is no room for trouble-makers.

The Chelsea boss says he wants to trim his squad down to players who will fight for their places if they are not in the first team – and do not “make a mess”.

Pochettino has cleared out 12 players so far this summer, with three more on the way.

Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Cesar Azpilicueta, Mateo Kovacic, N ’Golo Kante, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Felix (who was on loan), Kai Havertz, Pierre- Emerick Aubameyang, and Ethan Ampadu have all gone.

And Hakim Ziyech, Romelu Lukaku and Callum Hudson-Odoi will also be leaving soon.
