Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has added the muscle Injury Malo Gusto simply “not good” against Fulham.
Gusto came from the bank at half-time and replaced Reece James after the Blues captain was caught up for Fulham’s goal and played an important role in willing Chelsea for a 2-1 comeback victory.
Unfortunately, Gusto would not make it into the final pipe and fall off with a minute before the lawn and be replaced in the last moments by Tosin Adarabioyo.
Maresca quickly showed the recent influence of taste on the team when he admitted that Chelsea is probably without the foreseeable time without the French full -back.
“Unfortunately it is not a good muscle problem,” he told the media.
“You can see – against Ipswich, the second half in which he was inside, changed the game, today he was inside, changes the game – how important Malo is for us and unfortunately it looks like a muscle injury.”
Maresca emphasized that the introduction of taste instead of James was not a reaction to the mistake in the first half of the English, but only part of the long -term fitness plan to keep James healthy after years of serious muscles.
“Fantastic, very happy because [James] Played 90 minutes ago and played 45 again. It is an important moment for us as a team, because we can think of him every three days and this is fantastic for ourselves because he is our captain, he is a main player, fantastic player, so it’s good news, ”he considered.
“Then it can happen, we gave the first goal when he lost the ball, it can happen and the reason why we changed it was not only because he played 90 minutes ago, 45 and that was the plan.”
Chelsea keeps the victory in the race for the qualification of the Champions League. Maresca’s team ended the weekend in the fifth – England’s Top 5 will qualify – but until next time as low as seventh. Nottingham Forest will play against Tottenham Hotspur against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday and Aston Villa can skip blues on Tuesday with a point against Manchester City.
