Transfer: Pochettino explains decision to bring back Chelsea midfielder

Chelsea boss, Mauricio Pochettino, has explained his side’s decision to bring back midfielder Andrey Santos from his loan at Nottingham Forest.

Recall that Chelsea had earlier this week recalled Santos from Nottingham Forest.

Speaking on the development at his pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup third round clash with Preston on Saturday, Pochettino insisted that the Blues the Brazilian back to Stamford Bridge because he wasn’t involved in the squads at Forest.

“We decided to bring André Santos back because he was not involved in the squads at Nottingham Forest. He was not involved every week,” Pochettino said.

“It is good for him to come back, assess him and take the best decision for him and the team. We will see”.
