Chelsea's head coach Enzo Maresca has voiced concerns about match scheduling on transfer deadline day after injuries sidelined strikers Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu. Jackson's hamstring injury leaves Chelsea with just Christopher Nkunku as a senior centre-forward. Maresca argues that playing matches on this day prevents clubs from responding effectively to emergencies, referencing the chaos a club could face if injuries occurred to key positions like goalkeepers. He points out the impracticality of planning for injuries occurring within a tight timeframe, stressing the need for better management in scheduling.
I think it's completely wrong, but it's not the first season (fixtures have been played on this day). Is it wrong because you have no time to react to injuries? Yeah, exactly.
No, and the reason is that we had two injuries on the deadline. We finished the game at 10pm and the deadline was 11pm. You cannot plan to get injuries to two strikers in the same game.
