Overview

• The 21-year-old was an unused substitute in Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat at Manchester United, receiving jeers when arriving and during the warm-up.
• Maresca has praised Garnacho’s recent cameos and said he would speak with the winger before deciding to start him.
• United sold Garnacho to Chelsea late in the window for around £40m, with reports noting a 10% sell-on clause in the deal.
• Multiple outlets report that Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Harry Maguire urged Garnacho to be more team-focused before Ruben Amorim told him to find a new club after his Europa League final remarks.
• Garnacho has been eased in at Chelsea with substitute outings against Brentford and Bayern Munich, including an assist at Brentford, and he did not feature at Old Trafford after early incidents forced Chelsea into quick substitutions.
