Enzo Maresca has shown loyalty to his starting players in the Premier League this season, with Nicolas Jackson, Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo, and Cole Palmer featuring prominently.
- Despite playing through pain, Cole Palmer’s importance to the team is evident, as seen when he was limping after Chelsea’s match against Arsenal.
- In midfield, Romeo Lavia has secured a starting role alongside Caicedo, leading to Enzo Fernandez being benched and getting minutes in cup competition.
- Fernandez’s impressive performance in the Conference League, with three assists in 45 minutes, indicates his readiness for more significant roles.
- Lavia’s injury setback during international duty might open the door for Fernandez’s return to the Premier League starting lineup, showcasing Chelsea’s depth and adaptability.
