🔥💦🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea Coach Enzo Maresca Finally Reveals Why Jadon Sancho Missed Newcastle United Match Chelsea fans have been asking with questions about why their Jadon Sancho was left out of the lineup today. Coach Enzo Maresca breaks his silence, explaining the reasons behind Sancho’s absence and what fans can expect next

Enzo Maresca’s decision to exclude Jadon Sancho from the Chelsea lineup against Newcastle United has sparked plenty of questions among Chelsea fans. In his post-match interview, Maresca offered a detailed explanation, clarifying that Sancho’s absence wasn’t due to disciplinary action or an injury, as some speculated. Instead, Maresca emphasized that it was primarily a tactical decision, aimed at adapting the squad to Newcastle’s style of play and the specific demands of the match.
According to Maresca, he felt that Sancho’s style, focused heavily on technical play and creative movement, didn’t fit the strategy Chelsea had planned. He believed the team needed a lineup more focused on physicality, pressing, and defensive solidity, particularly to counter Newcastle’s strength in the air and fast-paced attacking approach. By selecting players better suited for these aspects, Maresca aimed to gain an edge over Newcastle’s setup, hoping to neutralize their strengths and create opportunities for Chelsea’s counterattacks.
Maresca also reassured fans that Sancho remains an important part of Chelsea’s plans. The decision was match-specific, and Sancho’s training efforts and attitude have been commendable. The coach hinted that Sancho’s style would be better suited for upcoming fixtures where Chelsea can employ a more open, possession-focused strategy.
In sum, Maresca’s exclusion of Sancho was a tactical choice, reflecting a commitment to adapt the lineup based on each match’s unique demands, rather than an indication of any long-term changes for Sancho’s role at Chelsea. Fans can expect him to feature in games that align better with his strengths.
