Enzo Maresca reassures fans about Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s future despite injuries to key midfielders Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia
London: Enzo Maresca recently chatted about Chelsea’s midfield situation. With injuries to Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia, there’s been a lot of talk about what’s next for the team.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who just made his first Premier League start, is in the spotlight. He joined Chelsea from Leicester for £30 million and has had a tough time finding his footing this season.
But he stepped up in a big way against Wolves, helping Chelsea secure a 3-1 win. That victory was a relief, ending a five-match winless streak and pushing them back into the top four.
Maresca made it clear that the injuries to Fernandez and Lavia won’t change the club’s plans for Dewsbury-Hall. He said they’re not making decisions based on injuries, even with rumors swirling about a potential exit.
He also mentioned that Lavia’s injury seems to be more serious than Fernandez’s. The team is still figuring out how long both players will be out, hoping it’s not too long.
Interestingly, Maresca clarified that the absence of Renato Veiga from the squad against Wolves wasn’t due to transfer talks. It was just a tactical choice, as they preferred other players for that match.
So, while there’s a lot going on, it looks like Chelsea is trying to keep things steady as they navigate these injuries and the transfer window.
