Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has admitted that he would have preferred to field a consistent centre-back pairing but could not do so amid the current injury issues.
Maresca confirmed that he will rotate his team for the Carabao Cup fourth-round trip to Wolves on Wednesday, with three key players, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, and Joao Pedro, likely given some rest.
Aside from these three, there could be some changes in defence, as well.
The Italian has deployed four different centre-back pairings in Chelsea’s last five games, and while it has been far from ideal, Maresca insisted that his team is improving defensively.
