"Chelsea have received seven red cards this season, one of which went to Maresca who will serve his second touchline ban of the campaign against Aston Villa on Saturday for an accumulation of yellow cards. There have been costly dismissals too for Trevoh Chalobah and Robert Sánchez in defeats to Brighton and Manchester United respectively whilst Malo Gusto, João Pedro and Liam Delap have also earned themselves suspensions."
""The club this morning showed me a comment from [the media] that said the team reflects the manager," Maresca said. "I'm very proud of that, because of the way the team is doing, the youngest squad in the Premier League. We have to allow them some mistakes in terms of growth. "Yes we have yellow cards, yes we have some red cards, but I like to analyse different situations.""
Chelsea have accumulated seven red cards this season, including a dismissal for head coach Enzo Maresca who faces a touchline ban for yellow-card accumulation. Several players — Trevoh Chalobah, Robert Sánchez, Malo Gusto, João Pedro and Liam Delap — have received suspensions that have impacted results. Moises Caicedo served a three-match ban after being sent off, a period that coincided with a notable dip in midfield performance. Disciplinary issues continued during a 2-2 draw with Newcastle when Sánchez was booked early and Maresca received a caution that triggered another ban. Aston Villa remain in strong form heading into the fixture.
