Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has cleared the air on rumours surrounding Jadon Sancho’s absence in the club’s last two games.
Sancho has been an important addition for the Blues since joining on loan from Manchester United, Maresca himself confirmed.
However, rumours started swirling after the England international went from starting Chelsea games earlier in the season, to missing their last two against Panathinaikos and Newcastle United.
However, in a press conference on Tuesday, ahead of the West Londoners clash against Newcastle in the FA Cup, Maresca put to rest any doubt about the player.
He said, “Last two games, he [Sancho] didn’t play for tactical decisions. No more than that.
“Sancho is doing well since he arrived. Players can’t maintain the same level all season.
“He’s going to play many games, he has to continue to work hard,” he added.
