Chelsea captain Reece James rallied the squad for a team bonding meal in an attempt to unify the dressing room, but recent defeats continue to challenge the club’s cohesion under Enzo Maresca.
As Chelsea struggle with just two wins in their last 10 Premier League games, captain Reece James took the initiative to organize a team meal to reinforce unity and resilience. While their performance in the 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa showed improvement from the 3-0 loss to Brighton, frustrations remain high, with Cole Palmer visibly expressing his discontent with teammates during matches.
The squad’s ‘brotherly spirit’ has been put to the test as injuries and inconsistent performances have plagued Maresca’s side. Senior departures and a high turnover of players under Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital’s ownership have left the dressing room in search of a stable culture. However, with key players expected to return after the March international break, there is hope that Chelsea can regain form and push for Champions League qualification.
Chelsea must now prove their togetherness on the pitch, as their turbulent form threatens to derail their season.
