Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino spoke about the reasons for the reduction in the playing time of the team's winger Mykhailo Mudryk.
"Mudryk started against Middlesbrough in the cup semi-final, and that was one of our most important games.
Yes, he is now on the bench. You see, it's about the player's form throughout the season - whether you keep fit and whether you give your best performance every training session. As a coaching staff, we choose according to objective indicators - we will involve those players who will show the maximum on the field.
I think he is a young guy who came here a year ago. We know the circumstances of the transfer. Of course, he needs to improve. He has amazing qualities and potential, but this is a team game, not tennis.
We have players who need to improve their teamwork. If you see Mudryk's game, it is impressive, but then you need to adapt and play for the team. He needs to adapt and it all takes time," Pochettino said.
