Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is optimistic that five key injured players will return after the international break, potentially strengthening the squad before their crucial match against Tottenham on April 2.
Enzo Maresca has expressed hope that Chelsea will see the return of five important players following the international break. Nicolas Jackson, who suffered a more severe hamstring injury than initially thought, is expected to be unavailable until after the break. Alongside Jackson, teenage striker Marc Guiu has also been ruled out for an extended period, while Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile, both sidelined by muscle injuries, are reported to be on the comeback trail. Wesley Fofana has recently resumed training, indicating that he could be ready within two to three weeks.
In addition to these recovery updates, Maresca provided reassurance regarding captain Reece James, confirming that he is fit and available for the upcoming Premier League fixture against Brighton. He also reiterated his confidence in Filip Jorgensen as the club's first-choice goalkeeper for the foreseeable future, following his decision to start Jorgensen in recent matches to give Robert Sanchez a break after some high-profile errors.
