Maresca on Chelsea's Large Squad: "I Hope We Can Sort It Out"

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has addressed the sizable number of players in his squad.

"At present, I am training with the current squad, which consists of around 21-23 players. It's not with 42 players, because that's impossible. No coach in the world could conduct training with 45 players. It's simply impossible. I am merely informing the management about the players I like and those I don't like. And with one week left until the end of the transfer window, I hope we can sort it out and find solutions for all the players. When solutions are found, everyone is happy. When they are not, problems arise," Maresca told the BBC.

Chelsea's squad currently lists 42 players. This summer, the club acquired nine new players.
