Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has admitted that he is leaving Enzo Fernandes out of his team, because Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo are forming a midfield partnership that is giving his team better balance.
Maresca, speaking to the media on Friday, also said the duo provide greater physicality than Fernandes.
Fernandes has not started either of the Blues last two Premier League games.
Speaking ahead of facing Manchester United, Maresca said First of all its a matter of balance. I think in this moment Romeo Lavia and Moi Caicedo, they give us also physicality, strength in the middle, and this is the reason why we put the option Malo Gusto in the pocket, otherwise when we play with Enzo.
I know that you are looking for some different reason for Enzo, but for Enzo its very simple, hes not playing in this moment, we have so many games, hes going to play for sure in the future, now hes not going to, hes not playing, that doesnt man that hes not going to play in two days.
