Maresca give reasons why Madueke is not today’s squad

With a whole week of rest, Maresca named an incredibly strong side as the likes of Christopher Nkunku, Reece James and Joao Felix were all named in the starting XI.

One player who was absent is Chelsea winger Madueke, who came off the bench to feature against Crystal Palace last weekend.

The winger has been in and out of the team as he battles Pedro Neto for his place in Maresca’s starting line-up every week.

Now, Maresca has revealed why Madueke is not in Chelsea’s matchday squad to take on Morecambe.

Speaking in his post-match press conference after the 5-0 win, Maresca said: “Yesterday he didn’t finish the session because he was unwell.”

Quick recovery to Madueke.
