Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has sent a warning to Noni Madueke over his conduct after a video emerged of the Chelsea star out partying while injured.

Madueke, 21, has been spoken to by Pochettino after footage came to light of the player on a night out. The England Under-21 has missed the last three fixtures due to a minor injury.

“In my opinion, he is working hard to try and recover,” Pochettino said in a press conference.

“He came back from the national break 10 days ago. Now he is well. He is trying to be on the same level as the team.

“This video, we were talking about that, it’s a thing you need to avoid. All of the players need to know that when you are a player of Chelsea, you need to avoid these things.

“It wasn’t a big issue, but we need to avoid these types of situation. He is recovering from the national team and we will see if he is fit.”
