I did not see it coming. I know things of late have not been how he would like. You can see and hear that there has been tension,” Terry said in a TikTok video. The former centre-back felt that the decision to part ways with Maresca was an even bigger shock as it came a few weeks after Chelsea had defeated Barcelona in the Champions League. “Just my opinion from afar, there has clearly been tension between the manager and the …

Enzo Maresca Expects Manchester City To Be In Title Hunt As He Downplays Chelsea’s Chances

Enzo Maresca Expects Manchester City To Be In Title Hunt As He Downplays Chelsea’s Chances

Enzo Maresca believes Manchester City will bounce back into Premier League title contention, while insisting it is “just reality” that Chelsea are not genuine challengers for the crown. Chelsea go into Thursday’s west London derby at home to Fulham second in the table and just four points adrift of leaders Liverpool, having played one game more than the Merseysiders. By contrast City, for all they have won an unprecedented four straight Premier League titles before this season, are now 12 points off the summit following a woeful run of nine defeats in 12 matches in all competitions. But Maresca, who worked alongside City boss Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, said: “Manchester City at the end will be there. They are in a moment that has never happened before. “Every time they play a game, they have an injury, and they don’t have enough players in this moment. And the ones they have are not 100 percent because they have just come back from injury, so it is a very bad situation. “We are …

Explained: Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk fails dope test. What did he test positive for and what next? | Football News

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has been placed under provisional suspension after testing positive for a banned substance during a routine anti-doping test. The Premier League released a statement on Tuesday claiming they found an “adverse finding in a routine urine test.” It said Mudryk “has confirmed categorically that he has never knowingly used any banned substances.” Mudryk has yet to appear in a Chelsea match since playing and scoring in their UEFA Conference League victory over Heidenheim on November 28.

The head coach, Enzo Maresca, said the player had since been ill. But after several Ukrainian media outlets leaked the news of his provisional suspension, both the club and player were forced to make statements. The Ukrainian said: “I have never knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules, and I am working closely with my team to investigate how this could have happened.” What has Mykhailo Mudryk tested positive for? …

After two loans, Chelsea and Barca, I needed to stay permanently in one place. There is no better place for me to be than Chelsea.”“I see a perfect place to shine. It was a little bit of a lot of things that made me want to come back: the project, the club, the league, the fans, the time I spent here that I loved. I felt really good when I was here, despite the results we had. I’m really happy to be back.” How well did Felix perform in his first stint …

Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez To Miss Rest Of Season After Groin Surgery

It remains to be seen if Enzo Fernandez can recover in time for the Copa America in June.© AFP Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez will miss the rest of the season after surgery on a groin injury on Thursday. Fernandez has been suffering for several weeks with a hernia and struggled to make an impact during Tuesday’s 5-0 thrashing at Arsenal. The 23-year-old Argentina star will be absent for Chelsea’s last six league games and it remains to be seen if he can recover in time for the Copa America in June. Fernandez, a World Cup winner in 2022, is the latest Chelsea player to be hit with an injury setback in a dismal season for the Premier League club. At times, Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has had as many as 12 players unavailable, with his team languishing in ninth place as a result of their fitness and form issues. Their thrashing against Arsenal followed Saturday’s 1-0 FA Cup semi-final loss to Manchester City at Wembley as the pressure mounts on Pochettino. Fernandez, signed from Benfica …

Poor Form Puts Chelsea’s Faith In Graham Potter To The Test

Four months into his reign as Chelsea manager, Graham Potter is under pressure for a run of form that would have seen many of his predecessors at Stamford Bridge fired during the Roman Abramovich era. A 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City on Sunday means the Blues are already out of both domestic cups. They sit 10th in the Premier League, 10 points adrift of even a place in the top four. It is not the start the club’s new American owners will have expected after spending over 300 million pounds (365 million dollars) on new players to improve a squad that finished third in the Premier League last season. Judging by the dissenting voices of the fans, it is the consortium led by chairman Todd Boehly that are responsible for the malaise on the field. As Chelsea chased City shadows at the weekend, the travelling support at the Etihad rebelled by chanting the names of former manager Thomas Tuchel and former owner Abramovich. Tuchel was ruthlessly sacked by the new regime just …
