3 players wasted by Chelsea this season

Chelsea faced a shocking defeat against Tottenham Hotspur this Saturday, as the Spurs have now climbed to the 3rd position dropping the blues to the 4th. However, this does not change the fact that they have had a great start to the season and are still the possible contenders for the Premier League title this very season.

Following Maurizio Sarri's time at the Stamford Bridge, he has made the right tactical decisions but has failed to utilize all of his options on the bench. With the youth talent not being used as often, there have been some of the more experienced players who have been left out this season as a result of pushing the new faces. To some extent, it is a right thing done by Sarri, but regularity is what the football players really need.

3 such players have been wasted by the current Chelsea management this season. Their resurrection can surely bring more glories to the Stamford Bridge!

#3 Cesc Fabregas

The two-time Premier League winner and former world cup winner has lacked regularity this very season, as Maurizio Sarri has used him only thrice in the current Premier League season. At the age of just 31, Fabregas is the kind of player who deserves more chances and can surely add depth to the Chelsea midfield. Of course, Mateo Kovacic and Ross Barkley have been fantastic this season, but Fabregas' experience could be a trump card that Sarri can use.

Fabregas is one of the most important players in the history of the Premier League and possesses the leadership qualities that no other Chelsea player can really have. The injury of Mateo Kovacic could be an opportunity for Fabregas to prove his worth as a world-class talent. He was unused in Chelsea's clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

#2 Victor Moses

Moses needs more playtime

Moses played an extremely important role in order to win the 2016/17 Premier League title, as his pace and dribbling abilities from the right-hand side of the pitch are something that has made him one of the most versatile Nigerian footballers ever to step foot on the pitch. This season, however, things have been different for the 27-year-old as he has made only 2 appearances in the Premier League, being totally fit for performing.

The Nigerian is surely getting wasted this season as his time on the bench could make him impatient and force him to leave the club in the January transfer window. Surely, he is a top quality player and more playtime is what he needs as of now. A move to Wolverhampton is what he has been linked with, and it is for sure that he could be getting the playtime that he deserves.

#1 Danny Drinkwater

The Engish midfielder is yet to make a PL appearance this season.

Ever since his arrival at the Stamford Bridge, Drinkwater made a total of 12 PL appearances in the last season and is yet to make his first appearance in the ongoing season. The former Leicester midfielder was one of the main reasons why the Foxes secured the Premier League title in the 2015/16 season, a feat that is considered as a 'miracle'. With Mateo Kovacic and Ross Barkley being the main personalities in the midfield, along with Ruben Loftus-Cheek as a backup, Drinkwater's time is only becoming limited with the Blues.

There is however no denying that he is a top-quality midfielder who needs more opportunities in order to prove his worth. With just one appearance in the community league this season, it is time for him to leave in order to find more regularity and consistency as a footballer. Just like Fabregas, Drinkwater is slowly fading from the eyes of the Chelsea supporters.
