Pochettino says Chelsea need time
)
The former Villarreal striker will be suspended when his side visit Fulham next week to add further headache for Pochettino.
“We need to grow up like a team, not only in an individual way,” Chelsea’s head coach said.
“I think players like Nico who are so young and feeling the Premier League, they need time.
“In this type of game, we are competing and want to win and football is about winning. But also players, when they are young, need to learn, experience and make mistakes. That’s why we feel disappointed as there are too many situations like this.”
