Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has warned that he can axe any player that fails to meet his demand.
Maresca made this known after dropping club-record signing Enzo Fernandez from his Premier League starting lineup.
Speaking with the club’s website, Maresca stated that he has capable players ready to replace any player in his team.
“I still trust him (Fernandez),” Maresca said on Friday. “There’s no reason in the world I can lose confidence in him.

“The reason he isn’t playing in the Premier League is that in this moment I take different decisions, but my confidence is 100 percent with Enzo.”
“I like to say there are players that are fantastic, but for me we don’t have indispensable players,” said Maresca.
“If Cole (Palmer) is not playing for any reason, we play Joao (Felix). If Nico (Nicolas Jackson) is not playing, we play Christo (Christopher Nkunku). There is not one that we cannot change.
“The reason we change players is because we think that all of them are good. Some of them are better than the rest, but it doesn’t mean they are always the ones that are going to play.”
