Enzo Marescatechnician of the Chelseaspoke at the press conference before the match against West Ham, starting with the point on Reece James: “He’s a little late in recovering from his injury. The most important thing is that he’s 100% when he returns. We have no idea when he’ll be, we always hope to find the right solution. In this case he was very unlucky, we had planned to change him after 65 minutes, he got injured in the 63rd minute. Sancho? Since he arrived here, he’s been working hard on and off the pitch. We used the international break to focus on him. He’s doing well.”
How are Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson different?
“We used Christopher as a 9 in the last match, but he is completely different from Nico, who is a 9. I am convinced of the team we have, not just the two of them. Nkunku does not like to play wide, he likes to stay in the center, we know that, but sometimes for balance he plays in a position that is not the best for him.”
Is your schedule too busy?
“Yes, without a doubt. For me, it’s completely wrong how many games the players have in their legs. I think in the last couple of weeks some players have explained what they think, and I think that’s a good starting point. I try to live every day and every week the same way, focusing only on the things I can control. This week hasn’t been any different from the previous one.”
Will Malo Gusto be there?
“He’s not in shape, no.”
