At this point, Chelsea will face Brighton in the 25th round of the Premier League. Confronted with a difficult opponent, but the Blues did not have the best force.
The two strikers Nicolas Jackson and Marc Gui were injured after the match against West Ham, and the 17 -year -old young striker Shumaira Mheuka could not play because of his thigh problem.
In a press conference before the match, coach Enzo Maresca was asked who he chose to play the striker in the next match. In response, the funny Italian strategist pointed at himself.
Next, Enzo talked about alternatives like Nkunku or Cole Palmer: “Christo played as a nine player. Previously, I also let Cole play the highest.
We are looking for some other solutions. Unfortunately, in the same match against West Ham, both strikers were injured. Nico looks good, so we can rest assured about him.
But quite unfortunately for Marc. He is still here in January, because I always believe that he is growing, improving, becoming better. Unfortunately, he is now injured, his future will still be bright, because he is a very good player. ”
In the winter transfer market, Chelsea did not buy any more strikers. They even pushed striker Joao Felix to AC Milan under a loan contract.
Coach Enzo Maresca explained about Felix's case: "'If Joao is here, it's because I want to sign a contract with him. I don't know about the future. It is complicated when talking about the future ”.
