“I want them now” – Enzo Maresca calls these Two forgotten players to join Chelsea first team
The “bomb-squad” of Chelsea was unable to deploy before the summer transfer window closed.
Up to 14 Chelsea players may have been kicked out of the first team and forced to find new clubs, but Enzo Maresca had made it clear that he wanted a group of 22 to 24 players.
Regretfully, not every player on Chelsea’s explosive roster was able to get a contract before the summer transfer market closed.
According to The Athletic, Carney Chukwuemeka and Cesare Casadei will now become part of Enzo Maresca’s first team squad.
After the injuries of last season, Chukwuemeka was slated for a loan move, but no club made an offer that satisfied all parties involved.
Casadei, meanwhile, was brought into the team after Lesley Ugochukwu joined Southampton on loan.
Casadei was a huge player for Enzo Maresca on loan at Leicester City last season. He returned to Chelsea in January, amid Chelsea’s injury crisis.
