The West African played a decent role in the Blues’ comeback win at Bournemouth, but it remains to be seen if he’ll be retained in 21/22
Chelsea’s 2-1 win at Bournemouth was enjoyable not just for the returning away supporters at the Vitality Stadium, but also for the neutrals watching from a distance.
The intensity of the match was unlike any pre-season encounter, which probably pleased Thomas Tuchel following his pre-match comments regarding effort and industry. Having, more or less, indicated his plan regarding substitutions before kick-off, there was an interest to see how substitutes would fare after their introductions.
