Exclusive: Fabrizio Romano on what action Chelsea will take with players involved in penalty row

Fabrizio Romano shared insights into how Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino plans to address the situation regarding players disputing a penalty during the Everton game on Monday night.

Despite Chelsea’s impressive 6-0 victory, the incident between Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson vying to take the penalty raised concerns.

Pochettino affirmed that Cole Palmer remains the designated penalty taker and condemned such behavior as immature.

Romano suggested that Pochettino is unlikely to resort to fines, indicating Chelsea’s desire to contain the issue.

Romano remarked on the remarkable incident during Chelsea’s match against Everton on Monday night, where players disputed over the second-half penalty. Ultimately, Cole Palmer took and scored it, with Mauricio Pochettino affirming Palmer’s role as the designated penalty taker post-match.

“Pochettino was visibly upset and stressed that such incidents are unacceptable. However, regarding further actions, fans have been curious. From my perspective, I don’t anticipate Chelsea resorting to fines.

Instead, they aim to address the matter internally through face-to-face discussions, as Pochettino intends. The club’s focus is on resolving the issue without escalating it into a larger narrative.”
