Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca suggested that the club talisman’s attacking midfielder Cole Palmer can move ahead after two attackers were injured this week.
Nicolas Jackson held a knee problem during Chelsea’s victory of 2-1 Through West Ham United on Monday night, while Marc Gui – a teenager striker who replaced him during that fixture – also damaged his adductor.
It is expected that it will take “for weeks or months” to recover, while Jackson could return in a few days. However, Chelsea face Brighton Twice in space from the week, forcing Marescu to potentially creatively creatively creatively been creative with his choice decisions.
The obvious replacement of the injured duet is Christopher Nkunk. As Maresca admitted, “Christisto has already played as a no9.”
Italian rarely believed nkunku to start against Premier league Opposition and – even during his fertile exits in the Europa Conference League – former Leipzig striker regularly deployed in a deeper role.
Maresca joked that he might need to run a line before pointing out to his best scorer: “Cole played in the past as no. [Jackson] And from there we will see different options. “
Palmer is almost exclusively distributed this season as a NO10 in 4-2-3-1 system, and his role in possession is occasionally adapted to the target of the area of weakness that Maresca observed in opposition.
The fertile midfielder has experience in the central role, sporadically forced in front of during the Mauricio Pochettino debut campaign Chelsea And – more importantly – when he played for the city team of young people trained by Maresca.
Chelsea’s lack of natural attackers comes shortly after the transition window in which Joao Felix joined AC Milan on loan. Blues’s only winter arrival was Tiney midfielder Mathis amougou.
Maresca may insist on having “No regret” About the recent employment of his club, but he has already watched in July. “In the summer we will see if we need something different, not only with regard to the attacker, but also in general,” the Italian added. “It is a bad luck that in the same game two attackers both have injuries.”
