MAURICIO POCHETTINO admitted he was surprised Ben Chilwell started both England games during the international break.

Chelsea boss Pochettino said: “It was a situation that he started two games. Maybe it’s a surprise for us.
“If he cannot play for us or be available, and because he didn’t play after Brentford with us, he only played a few minutes against Leicester in the FA Cup.
