Despite his vast experience, the Brazilian defender has not been named as one of Pochettino\u2019s three captains by the head coach, supposedly prompting members of the squad to grow \u2018perplexed\u2019 over the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Reece James was handed the club captaincy in the summer after the long-serving Cesar Azpilicueta departed for Atletico Madrid. Ben Chilwell and Conor Gallagher are the nominated vice-captains.<\/p>\n<p>A group of Chelsea\u2019s squad are reported to be \u2018perplexed\u2019 that Silva has not been handed the armband. The 39-year-old has previously captained Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazilian national team.<\/p>\n<p>Silva might therefore have been viewed as the natural successor to Azpilicueta. The veteran has previously worn the armband under previous managers at Stamford Bridge in an interim capacity when previous skipper Azpilicueta was absent.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Guardian, members of the squad are \u2018perplexed\u2019 over the situation and supposedly believe Pochettino has \u2018disrespected\u2019 Silva. It has reportedly become a \u2018growing\u2019 topic in the dressing room.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>Arsenal double swoop, Chelsea consider three exits, Man Utd \u00a370m deal[UPDATES] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Chelsea-Thiago-Silva-Mauricio-Pochettino-5113100.jpg?r=1702467845440\"><\/p>\n<p>Right-back James has been ruled out until well into the new year after suffering another devastating hamstring injury. Chilwell has had his issues with injuries, too, while third-choice captain Gallagher had his discipline called into question after he was sent off for picking up two avoidable yellow cards in the 3-2 victory over Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>Silva had been ever-present in Chelsea\u2019s Premier League team before dropping to the bench for the 2-0 defeat by Everton last weekend. But Pochettino refuses to name him as captain and previously said he wants to consider the future of the club when picking his leaders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI explain the truth like always. For me, it was nominating Reece, I think is the perfect captain of course and then an English player with experience is Chilly,\u201d the Argentine said when he named James as captain in August.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea have been warned against selling &#8216;amazing&#8217; \u00a334m player by Frank Lampard[TRANSFERS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tottenham could sell Barcelona&#8217;s &#8216;Messi replacement&#8217; due to Chelsea U-turn[GOSSIP] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea put three more stars on &#8216;striker shortlist&#8217; alongside Osimhen and Toney[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Thiago-Silva-Chelsea-5113115.jpg?r=1702467845585\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then I think Thiago is because of experience. Today is his birthday, 39, and I think he is an experienced player that doesn\u2019t need the armband and then I think it\u2019s important to build something for the future. Not only the present but the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is there and the captain is not only to put the armband on your arm. If we need to communicate with the referee and everything I think Conor can perfectly do the job and for me I prefer Conor than Enzo because I think Conor can speak normal English.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Enzo is still not ready to be a captain. It is not only because of character or personality or profile. It\u2019s about your ability to communicate with the people and if you don\u2019t manage still the language properly you cannot be captain, no? I don\u2019t know. Maybe I\u2019m wrong but it\u2019s my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1845087\/Chelsea-Mauricio-Pochettino-Thiago-Silva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pochettino reviews Chelsea&#8217;s defeat at Everton Some Chelsea players reportedly believe Thiago Silva has been \u2018disrespected\u2019 by Mauricio Pochettino over the Blues captaincy.
