I followed him his whole career, I was impressed with his quality, what he's doing in the box in front of the opponent's goal. He has shown it in Barcelona."
"Also for him this change to live in another culture, with fantastic people, nice weather, it's amazing. We can see now he's also smiling a lot. If he can enjoy the atmosphere we have it's also very good."
"I tell Estevao to put shin pads on in training, the Chelsea left-back said."
Marcus Rashford has regained momentum after moving to Barcelona on loan from Manchester United, scoring six goals and appearing happier. Hansi Flick said Rashford returned from a cold and is fit to face Chelsea, with a starting decision pending. Flick praised Rashford's finishing and movement in the box and highlighted the positive effect of adapting to a new culture, friendly people and better weather. Barcelona sit above Chelsea on goal difference after taking seven points from four group games. Pedri is absent while Raphinha has returned to fitness. Chelsea will assess youngster Estevao Willian and remain without Cole Palmer due to a broken toe despite his return to training.
