Maresca Backs Dewsbury-Hall Before Everton Midfielder’s Stamford Bridge Return

The Chelsea manager says the former Blues midfielder is flourishing with Everton after limited league minutes in his lone season at the club.

Overview

Dewsbury-Hall is set for his first game back at Stamford Bridge since a summer move from Chelsea to Everton.
Enzo Maresca said he “didn’t have any doubt” about the player’s quality, noting fierce competition limited his Chelsea minutes.
The 27-year-old has become central to David Moyes’ side, producing four goals and three assists in 14 Premier League matches.
His Chelsea stint brought Conference League and Club World Cup medals despite only two Premier League starts, with regular outings in Europe.
Cole Palmer has been training and is currently fine, though his starting status is unconfirmed, after scoring four against Everton last season under Mauricio Pochettino.
