Chelsea are facing an overbooking situation in their squad, with the number of players exceeding the number of available positions. With 3-4 players for each position, pre-season will be crucial in deciding who will be part of the starting team and who will be relegated to the bench. Enzo Maresca and his coaching staff will have to carefully evaluate the performance of each player in order to make appropriate adjustments before the start of the season.
The London club is also currently in the process of managing its squad, considering the sale or loan of those players who are not part of its plans for the coming season. This optimisation process is crucial to balance the squad and ensure that the squad is in the best possible shape to face the challenges of the season. Pre-season will offer players the opportunity to prove their worth and the club’s management the chance to make strategic decisions.
