Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has expressed his disappointment over the current circumstances surrounding Ben Chilwell. 

Speaking candidly about the defender, Maresca did not hold back in acknowledging the challenges the player is facing while praising his professionalism and work ethic.

“He was on top of his game, a very professional player. He works hard. I am ashamed of the situation that has developed, but when it comes to his behavior, it was very good,” Maresca admitted.

Chilwell has been a key figure for Chelsea, recognised for his consistency and ability to excel in high-pressure situations.

Maresca underlined his admiration for the fullback, stating, “I believe Chilwell is an excellent fullback who does his job well. He had the opportunity in the past to win titles and be part of the national team.”

However, Maresca acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding how Chilwell might handle the challenges ahead. “It’s hard for me to imagine how Ben will handle other things,” he added.
