Enzo Maresca expressed his 'shame' for leaving Ben Chilwell out of Chelsea's plans, acknowledging the player's professionalism but maintaining his choice was necessary for team strategy.
Maresca stated, 'I think Chilwell is a top full-back; he has played an integral role in past successes, but I struggle to see him doing different things.'
Addressing the larger squad issue, Maresca noted, 'It's impossible, two months not playing, and they won't be happy,' indicating the challenges of managing player expectations.
Despite sympathy for Chilwell's situation, Maresca confirmed that other players, like Malo Gusto and Reece James, fit better into his game plan moving forward.
