Chelsea chief Michael Emenalo says the club has plenty of leaders in their squad.
Emenalo is adamant the team doesn't lack young leadership.
He told chelseafc.com: "We have those people in the team. You have different types of leaders and you have different personalities and we hear Nemanja Matic now speaking up about Chelsea and his national team, and he is going to be a natural leader. You have someone like Cesar Azpilicueta, he is a natural leader.
"Eden Hazard leads by the level of his incredible natural talent and you have more coming. Gary Cahill is an England vice-captain so there are leaders in there but they need to grow, they need to develop their own personality and dominance.
"You have to understand that these players all came in with other players so dominant among the squad, like Frank Lampard, John Terry, Didier Drogba and Petr Cech.
"Thibaut Courtois, who is only 23, will definitely be another Petr Cech because he is intelligent and confident and these guys will come through and we have to give them time for that to happen."
