We will see…

Enzo Maresca:

Chelsea news: Dario Essugo set to be Moises Caicedo's understudy Chelsea news: Dario Essugo set to be Moises Caicedo's understudy

🆕Why Dario Essugo is crucial to take the pressure off Moises Caicedo, especially as Chelsea re-enter the Champions League.

The 20-year-old is most looking forward to playing with Caicedo but is aware he will be understudy to the Player of the Season.

Generally agree, I think they tend to overthink a lot of stuff but if CFC and Kendry want to train while Strasbourg is off, so be it, even if the plan wasn’t good to start

Fully bungled before but Strasbourg players are off right now so if he’s onboard so be it

Late to the party but I dig it:

To Win It All film available to watch now! When Reece James lifted the Conference League trophy at the end of May in Poland, it didn’t just signify us adding another trophy to our collection. It was the Blues making history.

Yes, overall he was, and it seems clear he has improved.

Djordje Petrovic wants to be a guaranteed starter, something #CFC cannot offer. Relations between Petrovic and Chelsea are said to remain good and the club are understanding of his position.

Djordje Petrovic asked to be left out of #Chelsea's Club World Cup squad after making it clear he wants to focus on his future this summer.

Per @matt-law-dt.bsky.social

This aligns with report of him wanting to remain a #1, and maybe we told him no guarantees? Some truth/some brief

He had a great season and I wouldn’t agree with not giving him a chance, but is there something amiss with his shot stopping analytics? It did look like he had some issues stopping lower shots (ironically enough so has Maignan the last 2 years)

🚨❌ Djordje Petrović will be left out of Chelsea squad for FIFA Club World Cup. Chelsea plan is not to bring any player out on loan during the season, apart from Andrey Santos. Decision made for Petrovic, as @Matt_Law_DT reports.

🗣 Dario Essugo: "I'm a very aggressive player, I love to win back possession and I love to govern the pitch. I love to win!' he said.

I am also a player who loves to hold the ball, to create space with the ball and attack, but also help the defence when they need it."

Time has almost run out for Chelsea to sign Gittens today. Chelsea will try again after window reopens next Monday. They will not overpay for Gittens. They know Dortmund will sell the player this summer and he wants to move to Chelsea. Per @skykaveh.bsky.social
