Chelsea Manager Maresca: No Player is Irreplaceable After Dropping Fernandez
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has emphasized that no player is untouchable, following his decision to sideline Enzo Fernandez from Premier League lineups, despite Fernandez’s £107m signing. Maresca currently favors Romeo Lavia alongside Moises Caicedo for added physicality in midfield, explaining that Fernandez’s absence is due to tactical choices, not a lack of trust.
Maresca clarified, “I still have full confidence in Enzo, but we aim for balance. Lavia and Caicedo provide the strength we need in the middle.” While rumors link Fernandez to Real Madrid, Maresca insists lineup changes are about strategy and flexibility.
