Enzo Maresca explains axing Chelsea summer signing after just three Premier League starts Enzo Maresca has opened up on his decision to sanction Joao Felix’s loan move to AC Milan just six months after he rejoined Chelsea.
Maresca, meanwhile, revealed Marc Guiu suffered a long-term injury in Chelsea’s 2-1 Premier League win over West Ham on Monday.
With recent injuries and the loan of Joao Felix to AC Milan, increased Premier League minutes for the French forward will be more likely according to Maresca.
Felix returned to west London in the summer having spent six months at Stamford Bridge on loan two years ago when Graham Potter was in charge, prior to his sacking and Frank Lampard’s interim tenure.
The absence of Guiu and Jackson leaves Maresca with Christopher Nkunku as Chelsea’s only senior striker option ahead of their trip to the Amex Stadium.
