Chelsea players have been put through some intense training sessions since Mauricio Pochettino took over as Chelsea coach this summer and Raheem Sterling admits it’s good for the squad.

Sterling also admits he was excited with the appointment of Pochettino as Chelsea boss as it is always difficult playing against Pochettino’s teams.

“It is probably the most I have run in a long time, but it is good,” Sterling said when asked about Pochettino’s regime.

“When I first heard that he was going to be the manager I think it was an exciting one because of the many years I have played against his teams and I know how difficult it is to play against his teams.”
