Winstanley and Stewart retain the full trust of Chelseaβs ownership. Their Pochettino-style assessment of Enzo Maresca has always been projected to take place in the summer of 2026, and there is no appetite to bring that forward. Chelsea want Maresca to be their long-term leader.

Chelsea and @Manchester_City are among the leading European clubs keeping a close eye on Leicester 15-year-old Jeremy Monga, who is already training regularly with the first team.
@Paris_Saint_Germain and @Barcelonaen have also made enquiries about Monga, a winger who can also play in other roles across the front line. He was included in the squad for Leicesterβs recent FA Cup tie at @ManchesterUnited.
Monga is already an England Under-16 international and is regarded as one of the best prospects Leicester have produced.
Monga has played six times in Premier League 2, registering a goal and an assist.

Enzo Maresca ahead of Aston Villa [A] in the Premier League:
π₯ ππ§ ππππ¦ π§ππ°π¬:
βWe donβt have any update on the injuries. We donβt have any additional injuries, which is good.
βNoni [Madueke] is the only one and he will be out until the international break, probably. We can have most of the players back [then], maybe all of them and for us it can be a big boost for us.
βMalo [Gusto] is okay [who required treatment against Brighton]. I am very happy with Malo to be honest, and heβs doing well with us. He helped us a lot earlier in the season and for me, Malo is an important player for us and is doing well.β
π¨βπ¦²ππ§ ππ¨πππ«π πππ§ππ‘ππ³βπ¬ π§ππ° π₯π¨π¨π€:
βI said to him βif you want to play again, you need the same haircut as mineβ [laughs].β
π£π΅ ππ§ ππ’π₯π₯π:
βAston Villa are a very good team.
βSince the new project with [Unai] Emery, they are doing fantastic. This season you can see in the Champions League they finished in the top eight to qualify for the knockout phase, plus they are fighting to finish in the top four of the Premier League.
βThe team is very good and they know clearly how they want to play. Emery is probably one of the best managers [in the league].β
