From the source
Xabi Alonso has delivered a damning update on Chelsea striker Joao Pedro in his press conference on Tuesday afternoon, ahead of his side’s trip to Liverpool on Wednesday night.
While it was a dismal performance on Saturday and Alonso got his tactics completely wrong, Chelsea were without some key players against Spurs. Emi Martinez, Reece James and Joao Pedro were all absent.
Pep Chavarria, Malo Gusto, Jamie Gittens and Emmanuel Emegha have all recently suffered injuries, but Gusto was back in the squad on Saturday. This week, Emegha has posted pictures of himself in training.
