Noni Madueke’s absence from Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Fulham sparked discussions, with manager Enzo Maresca citing a “technical decision” for leaving the winger out of the squad.
Reports later suggested that Madueke’s omission was linked to concerns over his training efforts, marking the third time this season he has been dropped for similar reasons.
Amid the scrutiny, Madueke’s personal trainer appeared to send a subtle message to Maresca on social media.
The trainer posted a photo of himself and Madueke on Instagram, captioned: “Out here grafting.”
While the post highlighted Madueke’s commitment, it’s clear that his consistency during training sessions at Cobham will ultimately play a pivotal role in shaping his future at Chelsea.
