Chelsea vs West Ham: Enzo Maresca to Be Without 5 Players for 2nd London Derby

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca will be without five players for their upcoming London derby against West Ham United. The team recently faced Crystal Palace in another London derby, where VAR ruled out a goal, resulting in a draw.

Key defender Levi Colwill suffered an ACL injury, prompting the club to explore replacement options. Maresca stated that they will look internally before considering signings.

Players like Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana are set to return, while others like Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile are unavailable due to fitness issues. Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson, who missed the first match due to suspension, will also be absent.

The club is reportedly considering selling Nicolas Jackson and allowing Aaron Anselmino to leave on loan to Borussia Dortmund. Maresca emphasized the need for competition within the team.
