Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has reassured fans that Malo Gusto has avoided a serious injury after he was forced off in the first half of Chelsea’s 2-1 win over FC Copenhagen in the Europa Conference League.

Speaking about Gusto’s condition, Maresca provided a positive update:

“He’s okay and he’s better. They told me he can be ready for Sunday’s game, so hopefully we can have him for Sunday.”

This means Gusto could be available for Chelsea’s crucial Premier League clash against Leicester City at Stamford Bridge.

With Reece James impressing in midfield, Maresca may opt to start Gusto at full-back, allowing him to play a key role against his former club Leicester City as Chelsea push for a Champions League spot.
