Maresca: Chelsea’s squad is not a mess like it looks from outside
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca arrives for a training session at Cobham Training Ground, London, August 21, 2024

ENZO MARESCA insisted today Chelsea’s squad is “not a mess” in the wake of another flurry of transfer deals.

Joao Felix completed his return to the club today, signing a seven-year contract — 15 months after he last played for the Blues on loan — with the Portugal forward’s arrival from Atletico Madrid helping facilitate Conor Gallagher’s move in the opposite direction.

Maresca has a huge squad at his disposal and has confirmed Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell are just two players who are not in his plans.
