According to Alonso, Emegha has 'exceptional qualities', but the 23-year-old has yet to make an impact on the pitch due to a lingering injury. Despite being part of the matchday squad in Chelsea's League Cup tie against Luton Town, Emegha failed to receive any playing time from Alonso. The Spaniard believes that Emegha will only get his chance when he is fully fit again.
Voetbal International reports that Alonso sees Emegha's potential, particularly when he is given space to operate. 'I see how he plays the last line of the opponent,' Alonso said. 'When he gets the space, he's a huge threat.' However, Emegha will have to be patient and wait for his opportunity to shine.
