Maresca’s update on Enzo injury and whether he could play tomorrow night

Maresca’s latest report doesn’t fil us with confidence either. While he insists the midfielder isn’t seriously injured, he also admits that the team are going to have to manage this problem:

“Enzo took part in the session yesterday, we have one more session and we will see what we do tomorrow. It’s not something to be worried about but we just have to protect Enzo,” the Italian coach said.

We imagine it will be Romeo Lavia and Andrey Santos starting tomorrow, with Moises Caicedo ready to come off the bench again.

If Maresca is feeling less confident, he can always start Caicedo and bring him on later. Given Santos and Lavia are both fit and in need of minutes, and given the opposition, we can’t imagine we will see Enzo if there is any question about his fitness.

In other news…

Pedro Neto is one player who has been fit and firing – and he played a crucial role in our win at the weekend, as was pointed out by some pundits this week.

Another Portuguese winger we’ve had on our books in recent years is Diego Moreira – and there’s a sense we may have cashed in on him too soon, given he’s now being linked with a move back to Stamford Bridge.
