Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has warned his Chelsea players that there would be no excuses for poor results.

Pochettino said: “I don’t want to make excuses to the players to say first of all we need time to rebuild, we need time to work, we need, we need, we need. No, no excuses.

“We start to work hard, to manage and drive the way that we want. No excuses.”

Speaking on Romelu Lukaku who is keen on leaving Chelsea for Inter Milan, Pochettino added: “He has to come back July 12/13 to be part of the squad to start pre-season.

“With all the players that arrive, first thing that they’re doing is to come to my office and say hello. That’s what I expect if he’s still a Chelsea player.”
