26-year-old Marcos Alonso has been Chelsea’s left wingback since Antonio Conte switched to the 3-4-3 and he was part of the team that went on a 13-game winning run.

“I’m not a lover of Alonso,” Wilkins told Sky Sports.

“I don’t think Bertrand should have left.

“They’ve spent £50 million trying to replace Ryan and they sold him for £10 million.

“So I’m not a great fan of Alonso – he’s doing okay.”
