On the evening of August 18, Chelsea faced Manchester City at home in the first round of the Premier League. The team’s winger, Sterling, was not included in the squad for this match, and subsequently, head coach Maresca addressed this issue in an interview.
Maresca said, “The head coach is the one who needs to make decisions, sometimes players may not like certain decisions, and that’s all normal. It’s just a technical adjustment, there are no other reasons.”
Speaking about the team’s condition and the choice of starting players, Maresca said, “At this stage, I don’t think anyone is at 100% full fitness, it’s the same for all teams. Jakson’s condition is better, Palmer’s condition is better, and Neto has only been here for less than a few days, he needs more time, hopefully, we can give him some playing time.”
