In preparation for their Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has revealed his starting lineup for the highly anticipated match. After a short turnaround from their previous game, Maresca took the opportunity to rotate his squad, ensuring that there are no fitness concerns heading into the encounter.
Up until now, only Moisés Caicedo and Christopher Nkunku have retained their places from the previous game, showcasing the depth that Maresca has at his disposal. The likes of Wesley Fofana, Nicolas Jackson, Marc Cucurella, and Levi Colwill, who didn't feature in the midweek match, will be eager to make an impact against Wolves.
Although the pressure of registering players with UEFA is no longer a concern in the Premier League, it seems unlikely that the players who were left out in the previous game will be given an immediate opportunity. Maresca has shown confidence in his chosen group and is expected to stick with a similar selection that faced Servette.
However, there are a couple of notable changes to the lineup due to injuries. Reece James will be sidelined with a hamstring injury, creating an opportunity for another player to step in. Furthermore, Cole Palmer has picked up a knock from the previous game, but Maresca downplayed any concerns regarding his fitness. Nevertheless, the manager may opt to exercise caution and ease Palmer back into action.
In a positive development, João Félix is set to make his return to the squad and should be available for selection against Wolves. The Portuguese forward's presence on the field could provide a much-needed boost for Chelsea as they look to secure a crucial victory.
With Maresca carefully selecting his starting lineup, Chelsea's hopes of securing a win against Wolves remain high. The manager's tactical decisions and the depth of talent at his disposal will be put to the test as they aim to continue their impressive form in the Premier League.
