“I can’t stand it” – Carragher tears into Garnacho for what he did during Chelsea’s win vs Fulham | OneFootball

Jamie Carragher has ripped into new Chelsea signing Alejandro Garnacho for what he was doing in the stands during the game against Fulham last weekend.

Chelsea signed Garnacho from Manchester United last month in a deal worth £40m, which ended weeks of speculation.

The Blues were first linked with Garnacho back in January, before a move eventually happened in the final few days of the summer window.

Garnacho is one of five attacking signings Chelsea have made this summer, which include Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Facundo Buonanotte.

Despite approaches from Bayern Munich and a club in the Saudi Pro League, Garnacho made it clear he only wanted to join Chelsea.

Garancho was the in the stands for Chelsea’s 2-0 win against Fulham before the international break, but Carragher was unhappy with something he saw the 21-year-old do during the game.

“You know what I didn’t like? Carragher told Sky Sports.

“Did you see the game [against Fulham], when they go to the people in the stands and they are on their phones with the game going on?

“I can’t stand it. And it’s not just him by the way, but I can’t stand it. So it’s a miss for that. For sitting on his phone during an important game for Chelsea.”

Garnacho could make his debut against Brentford after the international break, and has also been named in Chelsea’s Champions League squad.

Facundo Buonanotte left out of Champions League squad

Garnacho wasn’t the only Argentine to sign for Chelsea this summer, with the Blues taking many by surprise with the signing of Brighton’s Facundo Buonanotte.

Chelsea agreed a season loan for Buonanotte, and the 20-year-old is expected to provide cover at both number ten and right wing.
