host Brighton at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening in an EFL Cup clash and ahead of the match, Pochettino confirmed that the striker is not fit enough to get a start."He’s not ready to start,’ confirmed Pochettino to reporters. "He is helping the team and he is doing well, but he needs time to be fit again to be able to start a game. I think for 20 or 30 minutes he is able to help the team, but he’s still not ready to start.
"We were using Chilly maybe not in his best position because he was a winger. That is why after we started to play with a winger, like Misha when he recovered or maybe Sterling, in that position, our thought was to keep Levi in the position because he is doing well," he added.
