Maresca Confronts Marc Guiu Over Training, Declares Teen Striker Ready to Start

Sharper training followed his early recall from Sunderland, culminating in a Champions League goal.

Overview

  • Enzo Maresca said he told Marc Guiu two weeks ago that his training levels were unacceptable and needed to change.
  • Maresca now says Guiu has been excellent in sessions and is ready to start for Chelsea.
  • The 19-year-old opened the scoring in Wednesday’s 5-1 Champions League win over Ajax after earning a start.
  • Chelsea had recalled Guiu from a short Sunderland loan after just three outings due to injuries in attack, notably Liam Delap’s hamstring issue.
  • Delap has rejoined team training but will not be available for the Sunderland match, with a potential return targeted for the next game.
