"Enzo Maresca wants to see "improvement" in Chelsea's discipline following a series of red cards ahead of their Champions League game vs. Ajax."
"Chelsea have registered 33 academy players for their Champions League group stage clash against Ajax on Wednesday. The list of players includes former Chelsea and Brazil captain Thiago Silva's son Isago and comprises various youngsters aged between 16 and 19."
"Sources at the club say the move is simply an administrative decision to add all in one go rather than on a game-by-game or a case-by-case basis. The players have been added to an unlimited B list which means they will be able to be called upon for any of Chelsea's remaining group stage matches. UEFA did not immediately respond when contacted by ESPN."
Enzo Maresca demanded improvement in Chelsea’s discipline after a run of red cards ahead of the Champions League group game against Ajax. Chelsea registered 33 academy players, aged 16 to 19, on an unlimited UEFA B list so they can be called for remaining group-stage matches. The list includes Isago Silva, son of Thiago Silva, and a full set of goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards. Club sources said the mass registration was an administrative decision to add all players at once rather than case-by-case. UEFA did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
