For the first time in this new era, the big-spending Blues’ significant strength in depth has finally become a plus point

Enzo Maresca has told Chelsea players they must attend games at Stamford Bridge even if they have been left out of the match day squad. The Blues have had a good start to the season under the Italian and currently sit fifth in the table with ten points from their first five games after last weekend’s win against West Ham.

Enzo Maresca insists Ben Chilwell could still feature for Chelsea in the Premier League this season after being told he had no future at Stamford Bridge. Chilwell was made to train away from Chelsea’s first-team squad in the summer as the club looked to move the 27-year-old on in the summer window.
