Chelsea Team News: Enzo Maresca Makes One Change For Brighton & Hove Albion Clash
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has made one adjustment to his starting lineup for Saturday’s Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion.
On Tuesday, the Italian rotated his squad entirely for the EFL Cup clash with Barrow, allowing many key players to rest.
While there was a chance of returning to the lineup that faced West Ham United last weekend, Maresca has chosen to make a slight alteration to the winning side instead.
Malo Gusto has returned to his right-back position after recovering from a thigh injury and demonstrating his fitness in midweek.
Instead of keeping Tosin Adarabioyo in central defense, Maresca has shifted Wesley Fofana back inside to partner with Levi Colwill.
The rest of the team remains unchanged, with Christopher Nkunku’s hat-trick against Barrow not sufficient for him to earn a starting position in the attack.
Notably, Romeo Lavia makes a return to the substitutes’ bench after a thigh injury, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is the player omitted from the squad.
