Enzo Maresca ahead of Ipswich Town [A] in the Premier League:

🤝 “We will see if we make one change or two changes or three changes, now it’s a bit early, but for sure we are going to change something.

“For sure after a game you need to go again, no matter the result. Especially this month. We have already played eight or nine games in December, in 26 or 27 days. Now it’s also important to recover the energy and go again on Monday.”

😤 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐦:

“We never thought we would win every game.

“We lost on the 18 August, and then after two months, and then after two months. But we know the reality is not just to lose one game every two months. It’s a matter of how we react and try to go again.”

Maresca also confirmed ahead of the trip to Suffolk that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall missed the Fulham defeat because of injury, while Noni Madueke and Renato Veiga’s omission from the matchday squad was a ‘technical decision’.

⚒️ 𝐎𝐧 𝐈𝐩𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡:

“I think all the Premier League games are complicated; no matter the other team. You see every game we play, it is always complicated. You see the other team, you struggle to beat teams and I think the Ipswich game will be exactly the same.”

Chelsea want Kolo Muani in January, contact with @Paris_Saint_Geermain is set to start in the coming days.

➡️ Chelsea like Kolo Muani’s qualities, his versatility and the fact he’s available. PSG would like a loan + option. (Santi Arouna)

Understand Randal Kolo Muani is not in Chelsea's plans.

Natural respect for the player, but no approach expected in January.

Chelsea have several names on their list of possible striker options for 2025, but nothing imminent, and big confidence in Nicolas Jackson.🔵
