Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed the reason that Levi Colwill came off at half time for Chelsea in their League Cup quarter final clash last night.
The Blues beat Newcastle United on penalties after drawing the game 1-1 at full time.
Chelsea deserved to win the game and were all over a very defensive Newcastle team.
Pochettino made a handful of changes throughout the game, and one of those changes was actually key to how Chelsea ended up being able to win the game.
Malo Gusto was introduced at half time for Colwill, and having an actual full back on the pitch really did help Chelsea in attack with extra numbers and more threat.
The goal eventually came from a Gusto cross.
Of course, every time a Chelsea player is subbed off we assume the worst and yet another injury, but thankfully, according to Pochettino, Colwill is not injured.
As cited by Football London, Pochettino said: “Levi was more because my perception was at the end of the first half is that he was a little bit tired. We wanted to put some more offensive players like Malo and to provide more energy in the side. That was why. Also the option of Malo in the second half to continue to play with Levi Colwill but he is going to be ready. It’s nothing, it was only a bit tired in my perception, to change the way we were playing.”
