Honest Ahanor vs Middlesbrough Crystal Palace debut

🚨 Xabi Alonso was asked whether Jordan Henderson has been able to showcase his leadership skills yet or whether his focus has been purely on recovery: “Both, he has been very close to the team”. “Even being injured, he has been travelling with us [to games]. I know that he likes and he needs to have this connection with the team, to have this impact on the pitch and off the pitch. “He has been training very well, but still it is frustrating for him that, even being the arm, it is taking that long. I think he is in the last stage of his recovery.” (@MrDomSmith) #CFC  https://t.me/everythingChelsea1

Xabi Alonso on Kendry Paez: “No, no. He is not part of the plans [before January]. At the moment, he is not part of the first team squad.” [via @TheAthleticFC] https://t.me/everythingChelsea1

🚨 Xabi Alonso on Caicedo injury: "He has a problem in his calf." "It was the same that he had before Brighton." "I wanted to have Moi. Probably it was my mistake to push him too early, so that's why I’m cautious now not to make the same mistake." (@BobbyVincentFL) https://t.me/everythingChelsea1

🚨 JUST IN: Xabi Alonso has insisted Chelsea will NOT be making a move for a free agent despite missing out on a late move for Lamine Camara in the summer transfer window. (@BobbyVincentFL) https://t.me/everythingChelsea1

🔵 Xabi Alonso on the Arsenal defeat: "With time, you have a deeper analysis and you can settle the emotions after the game. Until now, all the games have told us things, we have learned from them. We have talked, we have shared our feelings, our sensations in the game. Our main focus is now tomorrow." 🔵 Xabi Alonso on if Palestra and Caicedo ready: "Not yet. They're still not ready to go. It's not the moment to take too early of a risk. We'll go game by game with them, but it's too early." 🔵 Xabi Alonso says Levi Colwill is OK for tomorrow. 🔵 Xabi Alonso on his first impressions of Barco: "He's a competitor. He is a fighter, he's very good with the ball, he's very open to adapt quickly but he's intelligent. When you have this mentality and this intelligence, it's easier for him to adapt." 🔵 Xabi Alonso on being frustrating to not have Palestra: "Especially for him. He came with huge energy and huge desire to enjoy the Premier League. He had a very good pre-season and then a few days before the game vs Fulham, he picked up an injury. We will need him for sure because he has a great potential and lots of good qualities." 🔵 Xabi Alonso in if Estevao is unhappy: "No, Este is ready. He's training well. The other day, he had a good impact and a good chance. With Este, I count on him 100% because of his potential because he's so young. The season is going to be long." 🔵 Xabi Alonso on if he has spoken to Estevao: "Private conversations should remain private. The season is going to be long. The players have the desire and the hunger to improve. Este is part of the group - he has a very good attitude and mentality to prepare for every game." 🔵 Xabi Alonso on if Moises Caicedo is back for Hull: "Potentially, yes, but we will have to wait. Thursday or Friday we will know more." 🔵 Xabi Alonso on the process: "It's going to be a long process but we need to be assessing where things are going. We need to be demanding as well. We need to improve. For sure, we want to have as many clean sheets as possible but the competition is hard. We are taking steps." 🔵 Xabi Alonso on if Henderson and Emegha are ready to play: "No, not yet. How far? Ask me on Friday." 🔵 Xabi Alonso on if Chelsea need to get meaner: "We want to compete. I don't know about 'meaner', or whatever, but we need to compete in order to win games. It comes in the football way and the spirit and mentality way." 🔵 Xabi Alonso on Leeds game: "We are expecting a very intense game, very tough, with lots of duels, but we need to cope with that and find solutions." 🔥⚔️ https://t.me/everythingChelsea1

🚨 “I think we missed a big opportunity to get Gabriel sent off. I think it was Hato and Joao Pedro closest, as soon as I see my goalkeeper reacting like that I’m surrounding the ref saying “he’s just been kicked in the f’ing head ref” put a bit of pressure on the ref, I know we don’t really want to be doing that but we’re here to win 3 points and challenge for the league” “I think we need to be better at dark arts, they’re big, Arsenal are the best at it” (John Terry on YouTube) https://t.me/everythingChelsea1

🗣 Paul Scholes: "What Rice did to him [Morgan Rogers] was the most annoying thing in the world. When people just leg you up when you’re running. He snapped Morgan Rogers and rightly so." https://t.me/everythingChelsea1

Former Ecuador manager Jorge Célico blames Chelsea‘s Kendry Páez and those around him for the player’s struggles: 🗣 “In my opinion, Kendry isn’t being properly advised. He has the talent; I coached him in the U-17s. Technically, he’s very good and has excellent vision. He’s a player who’s going to break out because he has so much talent. It was a mistake to skip steps with him; he didn’t play for the U20s in the World Cup. That means skipping stages you should complete in your development.” https://t.me/everythingChelsea1

🚨🧤 Hannah Hampton has been nominated for the 2026 Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year award. (@ballondor) #CFCW #CFC 

🗣 Joe Cole: "Morgan Rogers is an absolute monster, I didn’t realise. I knew he was a top player but… first touch of the ball, bang. He just lit the game up. From a Chelsea perspective, it’s been a great summer in terms of bringing players in and I think the squad looks more settled. Xabi Alonso is going to get better, we’ve got a lot of great players." https://t.me/everythingChelsea1

Emiliano Martinez has been nominated for the Ballon D’Or Men’s Goalkeeper of the Year. 💙🙌

🗣️ "Finish in the Champions League and possibly win a domestic cup." Tim Sherwood and Jay Bothroyd discuss Chelsea’s attacking options and whether they can win the Premier League 🔵 (@SkySportsNews)

🎙 Gary Neville: "For me, I'm as positive as I have been for three, four, five years about Chelsea because I think they're going in the right direction. It's not perfect. They were always going to be, I think, to be fair. Today they were on the wrong end of Arsenal because Arsenal are just such a good team. I wouldn't expect them to win today, but that was as good as I felt they could have done in the game, and I think, to be fair, they can go home tonight thinking, 'Right, okay, yeah, we can take that confidence out of that defeat.'" {Gary Neville Podcast} https://t.me/everythingChelsea1
