He can't speak English — Pochettino finally reveals why Chelsea star was overlooked for captaincy

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino announced Reece James as club captain before the start of the season but since the defender's injury, questions have been asked about the armband situation.

Conor Gallagher was handed the armband last weekend against Bournemouth, despite Thiago Silva being on the pitch.

On the matter, Pochettino said:

 “Thiago is an experienced player that doesn’t need the armband. 

“Then I think it’s important to build something for the future. Not only the present but the future. He is there and the captain is not only to put the armband on your arm.”

“I think Enzo is still not ready to be a captain. It is not only because of character,personality, or profile.

 It’s about you need to communicate with the people and if you don’t manage the language properly you cannot be captain no? I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong but it’s my opinion.
