Enzo Maresca ahead of Heidenheim in the UEFA Conference League group stage:
๐โI enjoy every game in this competition knowing that every club tries to make it their big game. The issue for us can be that if we are not ready mentally and we underestimate a team, they can hurt us. So we need to be ready.
โItโs an important competition, a European competition, so itโs important. Since we started, we have tried to share minutes with all the players in the squad. In some of the [Conference League] games, we have also used some young players. So weโll see. In this moment, itโs like this, and hopefully we can continue in this way.โ

Chelsea captain Reece Jamesโ latest hamstring injury is in the other leg he had operated on last year and ruled him out for four months
Head coach Enzo Maresca revealed on Wednesday night that the right-back has had a scan and is already getting โbetter and better, day by dayโ.
While Chelsea have deliberately not set a date for his return in order to avoid putting pressure on him, there is optimism over his recovery. The results of the tests were good, indicating it is not a significant strain.
This is the ninth time James has been ruled out with a hamstring injury in the past five years. He went 18 months without completing 90 minutes in the Premier League between April 2023 and October 2024.
On the eve of Chelseaโs Conference League game against German side Heidenheim, Maresca admitted that part of the issues James faces is coping mentally with suffering nine hamstring injuries in four years.

Guiu finishing still raw, we should be at least two goals up here. Heidenheim are decent though
