Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca has come out to provide an injury update on club strikers, Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Jackson would be out for six to eight weeks, and while his reaction made the club believe it was not a serious injury, the scan showed otherwise.
Maresca added that Marc Guiu will also be out for a while, while Romeo Lavia is in the process of returning to the squad.
His words, “Nico will be out until the international break, probably available after the international break. We knew it was a muscular problem but not how important it was. His reaction was good so we didn’t think it was a big injury. Unfortunately he had the scan and it is an important one – he will be out for six to eight weeks.
Marc Guiu will be out for a while. Romeo Lavia is in the process to come back with us, Benoit Badiashile exactly the same. Wesley Fofana needs two or three weeks to be 100% fit with us.”
On Nkunku, “Christo is a solution but not the only solution. I said many times I consider Christo a very important player from the start.
Now also with the transfer window closed, everyone is here and he can help us until the end. We are working to find a different solution. It can be Christo but also a different kind of player.”
Could a winger play centrally? Could be a solution. Pedro, Noni or even Tyrique, they can try and be a solution for us. Jadon has different kind of skills. When you don’t have a proper nine, you need to use a different kind of nine but you need to change the way you play. We will find a solution.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
