Pochettino explains why he did not include Lukaku and Aubameyang in Chelsea’s roster

Romelu Lukaku, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, and Callum Hudson-Odoi aren’t part of Chelsea’s preseason roster, and manager Mauricio Pochettino has given an explanation.

The former PSG manager claims that the team and its players are actively seeking answers to their long-term problems.

Aubameyang has been linked with a return to France with Marseille, while Lukaku is in talks to continue in Serie A with Juventus.

Both Ziyech and Hudson-Odoi are open to offers from other clubs.

This is the kind of decision that can only be taken when everyone involved is in agreement.

In his words, “players and club are working hard to try to find best solution,” Pochettino has expressed optimism.
