Ben Jacobs provides major Enzo Maresca update after explosive press conference comments | OneFootball

Enzo Maresca has an internal issue at Chelsea and is expected to clarify his comments before Tuesday’s game against Cardiff according to Ben Jacobs.

In explosive comments in his post-match press conference after Saturday’s 2-0 win against Everton, Maresca stated the last 48 hours had been his worst at the club.

Quite who or what he was referring to remains unclear, but it’s clear the Italian has been irked by an issue behind the scenes.

Maresca is still yet to clarify what he was referring to, but Jacobs has reported he’s got an internal issue at the club.

“Enzo Maresca has an internal issue at Chelsea.

“Expected to clarify his comments before Cardiff. – #CFC insiders insist Maresca wasn’t singling out any individual.

“Frustration brewing for a while – Rotation debated – Wearing non-Chelsea clothing unrelated.”

Chelsea had been on a four game winless run before beating the Toffees, but why Maresca chose that moment to make his frustrations known isn’t clear.

Maresca had been under pressure earlier in the season after losses to Manchester United and Brighton, but the Chelsea hierarchy believe he’s still very much the right man to lead the project forward.
