Chelsea Manager Enzo Maresca Faces Squad Challenges

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Reece James and Malo Gusto will miss the upcoming match against Bournemouth due to injuries, but Romeo Lavia might feature. Maresca has faced challenges with squad management, notably freezing out players like Cesare Casadei and Ben Chilwell, with the latter possibly reintegrating due to a failed transfer. Additionally, David Datro Fofana's move to AEK Athens collapsed, leaving him in limbo after being sidelined from Maresca's plans. Chelsea has had a turbulent transfer window, offloading 11 players while signing 11 new ones, resulting in a large squad that Maresca is managing by segregating unwanted players. Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton predicts a 1-1 draw in their match against Bournemouth, citing Chelsea's inconsistent performance.
