Overview

• Guiu, 19, was brought back from a Sunderland loan after Liam Delap’s injury but has yet to play, with winger Tyrique George used up front against Benfica.
• Enzo Maresca says he is not worried about the impact on Guiu’s progression and views day-to-day work with the senior squad as a key part of development.
• The coach says Guiu’s application in training has improved markedly and insists the striker will play for Chelsea this season.
• Reporting explains the recall was to ease the load on João Pedro, while opinion pieces argue consistent loan minutes would better serve Guiu.
• If Guiu makes an appearance for Chelsea, regulations would prevent another loan or a sale in January after his earlier registration with Sunderland.
