The left-back was sidelined since September – but now he’s back in a bang.
“Yeah, he has shown the quality in the box. He’s scored lots of important goals so today he was back in the team,” Cesar Azpilicueta told BT Sport about Marcos Alonso’s return to the starting XI.
“I am pleased with his performance, with his goal. We know what he can give the team in his position so now we have to be working.
“Everybody in the squad is important, everyone has started from zero with the new manager and we have to keep the competition. It’s healthy and it gives everybody the opportunity to give their maximum to get into the team.”
Alonso was out of the team since his dreadful showing against West Brom – although the issues lay off the pitch more than on it.
Now, however, he’s given a chance to impress yet again and made the most out of it. Good on him, although it remains to be seen how long it lasts.
