It is now just two wins in ten Premier League matches for Chelsea, though Enzo Maresca’s squad don’t have much time to reflect on Saturday’s disappointment as they are back in action on Tuesday night with the visit of bottom side Southampton.
But Enzo Maresca has recently confirmed the defender is back in training and could be back in action in “two or three weeks”.
Given Chelsea’s lack of central defenders at the moment, the last thing Maresca needs is an injury in this department, especially with the Conference League campaign restarting shortly.
Speaking before the Aston Villa game, Maresca confirmed Madueke is expected to be out until after next month’s international break.
Marc Guiu suffered a “bad” injury against West Ham and is facing “weeks or months” out of action, Maresca has said.
