Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca believes that the summer signs Alejandro Garnacho is finally in a position to start the play after building his fitness.
The Argentine joined in Manchester United in the summer and made a few Cameo appearances, including in the 3-1 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League during the middle of the week.
But the leading coach has given a more positive update and states that it may be in line for a departure location against Manchester United this Saturday.
At his press conference before the match, he said: “In the last two games, he came and did very well.
“We’re happy with the way they are adapting in our style and what we want for our winger. If he’s ready to start tomorrow? I think he’s ready to start.”
On Bayern’s defeat, he added: “The reality is that they have all the week to prepare a game and played a game 48 hours ago but I prefer to play the Champions League games.
“The Wednesday game is a normal game in terms of Champions League.
“We knew it would be a tough game, we tried our best. For periods we were very good but there are things to improve.
“My feeling at the end of the game was good because we are here and we will compete in this competition.”
Trust in an amorim
On Saturday Chelsea take to Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford on Saturday. Both are old foes but Maresca will know that the Red Devils are struggling late under their main coach.
However, he still chose to praise Amorim, who he believes simply going through a rough patch.
“I really appreciate Ruben Amorim. He is a magnificent manager.
“Sometimes you can fight more or less at the beginning of a project. I have no doubt that he is a fantastic manager, I have seen his games since sports.”
