On the evening of August 18th, Chelsea faced Manchester City at home in their opening Premier League match. The Blues’ winger Sterling was not included in the matchday squad, and subsequently, head coach Maresca addressed the situation in an interview.
Maresca stated, “The coach is the one who needs to make decisions, and sometimes players may not like certain decisions, it’s normal. It’s just a technical adjustment, there are no other reasons.”
Speaking about the team’s condition and the selection of starters, Maresca said, “At this stage, I don’t think anyone is 100% fit, all teams are like this. Jackson is in better shape, Palmer is in better shape, while Neto just arrived a few days ago, he needs more time, hopefully we can give him some playing time.”
