Although the club are yet to make a final decision, meetings are scheduled over the next few weeks to address the kind of players needed in Pochettino’s squad, and senior figures behind the scenes are likely to push for players with more experience.
Blues legend Frank Lampard, who returned to Stamford Bridge as an interim manager last campaign, admits that a rocky start to Pochettino’s reign has not come as a shock. “I’m not completely surprised with their difficulties having experienced it first-hand at the end of last season,” he told Sky Sports ahead of the Fulham clash.
