Chelsea: Enzo Maresca delivers midfielder transfer update after Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia injuries - Blues boss is unsure how much time key duo will miss, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall starting agai

Enzo Maresca has spoken about the prospect of several Chelsea stars departing before the January transfer window closes.

Enzo Maresca says Chelsea do not need to sign a “killer” striker, insisting Nicolas Jackson will soon hit form in front of goal. While Chelsea are the joint-second top scorers in the Premier League this season,

Enzo Maresca faces a nervous wait to discover how long Chelsea midfielders Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia will be out for. The two key Chelsea men picked up “muscle fatigue” in last Tuesday night’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth and were left out of the squad for Monday’s 3-1 win over Wolves. Both had missed training on Friday morning.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has snapped back at one question asked to him be a reporter ahead of the game against Wolves on Monday. Former Blues striker Chris Sutton has already predicted a potential thrashing of Wolves by Chelsea on Monday night if they can take their chances.

Maresca has always maintained his team – who have the youngest average age in the league at just under 24 – are not ready to compete for the title, even after they went on a winning spree before Christmas that took them to within two points of the summit.

Chelsea appear to be in the market for a new striker - with Enzo Maresca eager to strengthen his options in attacking quarters.
