‘Sack Enzo Maresca’ – Fans react over Lavia, Nkunku’s absence in Chelsea’s lineup vs Wolves

Chelsea fans took to social media to express their frustration over the absence of key players in their match against Wolves.

Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku were both missing from the starting lineup, with Nkunku on the bench, while Lavia was totally absent.

The exclusion of these players has sparked a mixed reaction among the fanbase of the club.

One fan vented, “NO NKUNKU??? Sack Enzo Maresca,” while another questioned, “Oh wow, what happened with Lavia now??”

The decision to bench these stars led some fans to doubt the coach’s strategy, with one commenting, “This man no wan win??,” sarcastically adding, “Benching star players like there’s UCL semis on Wednesday.”

Despite the criticism, a few fans suggest that the players’ injury histories might be the reason for their absence, suggesting that they were left out to manage their workload.

One supporter reasoned, “Most likely they’re just controlling his [Lavia] workload.

“Hasn’t played a game last season and can’t rush him back to playing each game.”

Another echoed this, saying, “I guess the gaffer wants to rest him like they did with Fofana because of injury.”

Chelsea, still searching for their first Premier League win of the season after a 2-0 loss to Manchester City, are set to face Wolves away on Sunday at 2 PM West African time.
