*🚨🎙𝐗𝐚𝐛𝐢 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐞-𝐀𝐅𝐂 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 :*
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Man City charges:*
"For sure, it's a decision but we need to be patient. We need to wait until the final sanctions from the panel. They are independent enough to assess all of the situations. I am not an expert. We need to respect the decisions and be patient."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Moises Caicedo fitness.*
"Yes, he's ready to go. We have used the time with Moi to get him back fit. He's ready to go."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on it being three weeks since Brentford loss:*
"The break has been probably too long. We have had time to analyse the game, recover some players and get ready for tomorrow."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Palmer, James and Joao Pedro:*
"Yes, they have been able to train, some of them more than others. Marco Palestra as well. That was the plan. They have trained well and they are ready to go."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Tuchel's Palmer comments:*
"He has trained the last week, he's felt better. We did not want to rush. The most important thing for Cole is that he's fully fit. We could see he was struggling in the Brentford game. He is feeling better."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Laurence Stewart leaving:*
"Since we started with the club, Laurence has helped us a lot and I'm thankful for that and wishing him the best. It won't change much from our working structure, with Behdad, with Jose, Sam, Joe and Paul."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Gittens injury latest:*
"He's not going to be fit for tomorrow, that's the bad news. He's injured his ankle and he is going to be out for a few weeks."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Bournemouth challenge:*
"A tough test. So intense, high tempo game, so demanding. They know what they're doing with Marco and previously with Andoni. The core of the team is the same. We need to have a good game and we need a win."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Acheampong form:*
"He has played already a few games. He is ready, for sure, to play. He did well with the England U21s. He is playing more mature, more aggressive and knowing what it takes to play in the Premier League. He has played and will play again."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on the International break being 'too long':*
"If you ask me which way I prefer, with three weeks or two breaks or one be so long, I prefer the other way. This one is too long. I would do the way it was before."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Chelsea process:*
"It's going to take time. We need to keep learning, to be in the process, to be able to read the moment, adapt to the situation. From each game, we are learning things. We need to make sure we don't make the same mistakes again."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Moises Caicedo return:*
"Any team missing a player of his quality, his dynamic, we have missed him for sure. We are happy he is back and he feels better. We didn't want to take risks for Brentford, for example. He feels much better."
*🗣️Xabi Alonso on Estevao minutes this season:*
"It's still early in the season. Este is feeling much better from the injury. He has played for Brazil, the context is different, but we know the demand of the Premier League. He will have his moments in some games and more minutes."
