🗣Wigan head coach Matt Peet on why Chelsea hired Willie Isa from Wigan Warriors to act in a player-support role:
“I don’t expect the supporters to ever physically see the impact he has at Chelsea. But he is a cultural architect. He will make the environment better and all the individuals around the environment better. Ignore the different shape of the ball that he is associated with, Willie’s skill set is all about high-performing teams, leadership and dealing with people. Everyone at Wigan and in rugby league understands why Chelsea have made this move. It’s intelligent.”
‼️ A Chelsea source said the club’s thinking is to give every resource possible to help each player, on and off the pitch.
Isa’s experience of playing at the highest levels of rugby league, knowing what it takes to win and maintaining his physical condition during a gruelling season, is just part of the reason he was hired.

Cody Gakpo and Joe Gomez are unavailable for Liverpool 's game at Aston Villa on Wednesday, says Arne Slot.
Gakpo's ankle problem also kept him out of Sunday's win at Wolves, but Slot is hopeful he can return against Man City on Sunday.
Gomez faces weeks out with a hamstring problem that could require surgery.
“He will miss large parts of the rest of the season, but we expect him to be back in the end phase of the season," said the Liverpool boss.
"He might (need surgery) but that’s something we still have to assess.”
