Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca was quite vocal in the pre-match conference. The Blues will be facing Barrow in the EFL Cup Third Round fixture. Fans are keen to see Romeo Lavia and Malo Gusto back in action. The Italian manager was kind enough to offer an update on their situation. The right-back has been out of action ever since he was subbed off against Bournemouth in the game week 4 of the Premier League. Meanwhile, the midfielder has only gone on to play a single game this season so far. With a tough schedule ahead, the manager will be hoping to see his top players fit and available.
Romeo Lavia and Malo Gusto return date known
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca was quick to clarify on the absent duo. He said that we might see Gusto in action tomorrow itself. But, Lavia is still not ready. So, we might have to wait and will probably see him in the game week 6 against Brighton. Lavia was great in the pre-season US tour. He was easily one of the best players for the Blues. He missed out on the entire last season due to injury. The midfielder did start this season strongly but he continues to struggle with his fitness. Fans will be hoping he can recover soon and play at his best levels.
Enzo Maresca reveals his plans for Chelsea for the Barrow game
As per sportskeeda, the manager stated that he will be open to rotating the squad heavily in the EFL Cup game. This is not that big a surprise to be fair. Especially considering that the Blues have more than 40+ players with them. So, giving others a chance to prove themselves seems right. At the same time, he will also be able to rest his key players. Also, with the home crowd behind them, they may go on to put on a great show themselves. Enzo Maresca will be hoping that Chelsea can pull-off an easy win and get the job done.
