Enzo Maresca insists he will not rest Moisés Caicedo against Leicester City despite the midfielder being one booking away from suspension, as Chelsea focus on winning every game.
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has confirmed that he will not rest Moisés Caicedo against Leicester City on Sunday, even though the midfielder is at risk of a two-match suspension if he picks up another yellow card before Chelsea’s 32nd league game.
With crucial matches against Arsenal and Tottenham ahead, some have suggested giving Caicedo a precautionary rest, but Maresca dismissed the idea, stating that Chelsea must focus on winning each game as it comes. He also ruled out asking Caicedo to change his combative playing style, acknowledging that yellow cards are part of a defensive midfielder’s role. Meanwhile, Romeo Lavia is close to returning from injury and could be included in the squad against Leicester, providing Chelsea with additional midfield depth.
