Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca says it will be difficult for Carney Chukwuemeka to get more playing time at the club due to the array of midfielders at his disposal.
The Italian was asked about including the all action midfielder in his Conference League squad.
With several senior players missing from that group, the youngster could get more chances to play in the group stages.

Maresca told reporters: “I said already to him personally, and to you in the press conference: I really, really like Carney. The problem is that we have so many attacking midfielders that he is going to struggle to find space.
“Because of his past, in terms of injuries, the best thing to do was to go and prove himself that he is fit and can play 30 or 35 games and then come back here.
“Unfortunately we didn’t find any solutions and now he is one of the players in our squad and we can use him.”
