Gus Poyet believes Chelsea's defensive struggles stem from a lack of crucial players in the midfield rather than issues in defence, insisting that Moises Kasedo's recovery is 'fundamental' to remedying the situation this season.
We’re talking about a big team that currently doesn’t have two proper central midfielders; that's a concern, Poyet remarked in an interview with Football.london.
I’m not sure how long Kasedo will be out, but his return is fundamental.
Chelsea have conceded more goals than any other team in the Premier League this season, despite sitting third in the goalscoring charts. Kasedo has spent just 14 minutes on the pitch due to a calf injury. The problem has been exacerbated by the departure of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City for a British record £125 million, leaving a gap in midfield that the club failed to fill after missing out on a deadline day transfer for Lamine Kone from Monaco.
