Maresca on Gusto injury


Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has provided an update on right-back Malo Gusto following the 2-1 win over Copenhagen on the road.

The Blues had a disappointing opening half against the Danish outfit, but they improved after the break. Both Reece James and Enzo Fernandez scored.

Gabriel Pereira got one goal back for the hosts in the first leg of the Conference League round of 16. There is everything to play for at Stamford Bridge next week.

Gusto was substituted early with a potential injury and speaking after the game, Maresca provided a positive update on the Frenchman’s condition.

He said that the right-back is already feeling better and he could be ready in time to face Leicester City in Sunday’s Premier League encounter.

He said: “He’s okay and he’s better. They told me he can be ready for Sunday’s game, so hopefully we can have him for Sunday.”

Chelsea are currently fifth in the Premier League, which could be enough to qualify for the Champions League next term, as things stand.
