Sun Oct 27 14:20:01 UTC 2024: ## Chelsea Boss Confirms No New Injury Concerns Ahead of Newcastle Clash

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has offered a positive fitness update ahead of their crucial Premier League clash against Newcastle United this Sunday.

Despite resting key players for their midweek Conference League victory over Panathinaikos, Maresca confirmed there are no new injury concerns for the squad.

The news is particularly encouraging for Chelsea fans, as several key players, including Reece James, Romeo Lavia, and Wesley Fofana, are currently on a limited playing schedule to manage their fitness.

Maresca confirmed that James, Lavia, and Fofana are all on a plan to play just one game a week to avoid potential setbacks. Despite starting the recent defeat against Liverpool, the manager believes both James and Lavia reacted well to the minutes played.

“They were very happy about the minutes they got,” Maresca said. “The performance? They finished very well. No injury, which is the most important thing.”

Chelsea’s focus now shifts back to the Premier League, with the crucial clash against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge just days away. The two sides will then meet again next Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.
