Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca doesn’t see Christopher Nkunku as the only option up front to replace the injured Nicolas Jackson.

    The Italian boss confirmed on Thursday that Jackson will be out until after the international break next month, while Marc Guehiu is also out with an injury, leaving Nkunku the likely frontman at the moment, but Maresca insists the club are looking at a ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี number of options, not just one for the Frenchman.

    “Cristo could be one of the solutions for this, but he’s not the only option,” Maresca said. “We tried to look at other options as well. I’ve said many times that I see Cristo as an important player since the beginning of the season.”

    “The problem is they only think they are important when they are playing. If they are not playing, they don’t feel important. Now that the window is closed, everyone is still here. They can try and help us until the end of the season.”

    “We work because of the situation with Noni (Madoueke) and Marc (Giou). We try to find other solutions. It could be Cristo because he helped us in the last game or it could be a different player.”

    “If you are missing nine players who can play against the opponent all the time, you have to change not only the nine players but also the way you play.”

    Chelsea are currently in 4th place on the table with 43 points from 24 games and are set to visit 10th-placed Brighton in the Premier League on Friday.
