Enzo Maresca fears Chelsea star could be out for ‘months’ after suffering ‘bad injury’ Enzo Maresca has revealed that one Chelsea star could be sidelined for ‘months’ after suffering a ‘bad injury’ ahead of the FA Cup clash with Brighton.
He moved to west London from Barcelona last summer for just £5million and if this injury is serious it could well hamper Chelsea’s chances of winning the FA Cup and UEFA Conference League.
But despite also losing Joao Felix on deadline day, Maresca is ‘absolutely’ confident he has enough centre-forward options for the rest of the season, adding: ‘Before the last game, we had two strikers, Nico and Marc.
Having won just two of their last eight league fixtures, Maresca will be hoping the cup tie can reinvigorate his sides’s form as they chase trophies and a top four finish.
The Blues travel to the Seagulls twice in the same week, as they meet at the Amex on Saturday night in the FA Cup fourth round before a Premier League match next Friday.
