“I don’t work with 42 players. I work with 21 players.” This is one of the phrases that Enzo Maresca spoke at his last press conference, before the match against the Swiss team Servette, who won 2-0. The promoted team Chelsea he is, of course, the target of memes in England and elsewhere. And the first effects are coming to light: what happened Raheem Sterlingwho in a few weeks went from being an important player to being discarded.
In fact, with a squad like this, the Italian coach has to send out many people when making his group. The first two games of the season gave us the opportunity to see the players we didn’t have more clearly. Apart from Raheem Sterling, players like Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Cesare Casadei, Trevor Chalobah, Noni MaduekeArmando Broja, Romelu LukakuDavid Datro Fofana and David Washington know playing time will be hard to come by.
Many exits to close
For some, their loan or move is only a matter of days, like Armando Broja, on his way to newly promoted Ipswich Town, or Romelu Lukaku, who Antonio Conte is waiting for in Naples. big For others, this should change at the end of the transfer window, as rumors and interests have been gathering for several hours. Newcastle, for example, asked about the position of the Frenchman Axel Disasi, in case the Marc Guéhi file falls. The Magpies They are also now considering getting Noni Madueke back on loan, as explained Sky Sports.
Aston Villa are ready to take advantage of Raheem Sterling’s opportunity, as we saw yesterday. However, we must be careful about the viability of these activities. FIFA had changed the rules regarding the number of loans allowed per club and per season. For 2024-2025, the limit is 6 players on loan (six arrivals and six departures), but this limit does not apply to players aged 21 or under or those in training at the club. So far, Chelsea have loaned a total of seven players, but all of them are under 21 years of age, with the exception of Bashir Humphreys, only 21 years old, on loan at Burnley.
