Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has publicly acknowledged the club's dilemma of managing an oversized squad, revealing that only 28 out of 43 players are currently training with the first team. Speaking to the media on Friday, Maresca expressed concern over the situation, stating, “At the moment if I start to think I have 43 players it is not a good thing, I have 28 training with me.”

The manager's remarks highlight the challenges faced by Chelsea as they navigate player management and transfer strategies. Among the notable players not integrated into the main training group are Conor Gallagher, Romelu Lukaku, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, all of whom are training separately in hopes of finding resolutions through the transfer market.

Maresca emphasized that the responsibility for addressing the surplus of players lies with his colleagues, Paul and Laurence, stating, “They are in charge of finding solutions for these guys, not me.” His comments underline the managerial complexities within the club, as they aim to streamline the squad while remaining competitive in the forthcoming season. 

As Chelsea seeks to refine its roster, the situation remains fluid, and fans will be watching closely to see how these developments unfold in the near future.
