CHILWELL TO GET FIRST MINUTES UNDER MARESCA IN LEAGUE CUP CLASH – Maresca’s side has lost two out of seven matches in all competitions.
Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell, who was frozen out by manager Enzo Maresca when he took charge this season, will get his first minutes of this campaign against fourth-tier side Barrow in the League Cup third round.
Chilwell was put up for sale in the close season but did not find a club. He later returned to training with the first team after Maresca confirmed the club would find a ‘solution’.
Chilwell in the past two seasons, has suffered hamstring and knee injuries, limiting him to just 13 league appearances last term.
Chelsea reached the final of the League Cup last season, losing to Liverpool after extra time, under previous manager Mauricio Pochettino. Since succeeding the Argentine, Maresca’s side has lost two out of seven matches in all competitions.
The Italian said his side was on the right track but still had a lot of progression to make.
