Chelsea Nearing Full Strength Under Enzo Maresca After Key Bournemouth Boosts

Chelsea  fans have reason to celebrate as Reece James is set to be available for the upcoming clash against Bournemouth.

For Enzo Maresca, pinpointing his strongest Chelsea XI has been a challenge, especially with the squad still adapting to new faces and evolving dynamics. As he continues to assess his options, it’s been a complex start for the Blues manager.

The process has been further complicated by the transfer window’s late dealings, which reshaped the squad considerably from the one Maresca initially inherited, even after pre-season. Injuries, along with suspensions, have kept Reece James out of action, while Cole Palmer’s introduction to his first full season at Stamford Bridge was postponed due to his commitments with England over the summer.
