Chelsea players will be struggling to understand why Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang isn’t starting games with Chelsea struggling for goals, according to Ian Wright.

“Whatever the problem is with Aubameyang… George Graham didn’t have a problem not speaking to a player for months but if he needed him he’s in,” Wright told Premier League Productions.

“I don’t know what’s gone on but Chelsea need a striker, they’ve got one and he’s not playing.

“You wouldn’t say it to the manager but the lads will talk about it. You’d talk to Aubameyang and say ‘we can’t understand why you’re not playing’.

“You’d be saying that to him because the Chelsea players know they need him right now. They’ll be saying that.

“You don’t know what’s happened with the boss, you don’t know why he’s not playing but the players themselves will be saying ‘how come you’re not playing, what’s going on?'”

“They’ve got a lot of creativity when it comes to Chelsea,” Wright added.

“What would be the point of having those two guys (Reece James and Ben Chilwell) who do attack with gusto, they get round those inverted wingers when they can to put the ball into who?

“Now whatever you’re saying about Aubameyang, whatever they think about Aubameyang, he is a goalscorer.

“If you get them two back fit, you get him up there all of a sudden Reece James has got someone to whip it into, Chilwell has got someone to whip it into. Then you’ve got (Enzo) Fernandez who can find him over the top.

“There’s so many things where I was thinking this could go right for them.”

    Old players thank you, let coach know that you love yourselves and he for know that he can’t reject the old players down and play with new once alone and win.

    Es un castigo para ambos, pero también hay que preguntarle a Aubameyang porque cuando tuvo la oportunidad de jugar no destacó, recuerdo verle caminando sin compromiso defensivo tampoco es lo que antes era
