Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Enzo Maresca’s pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s Carabao Cup third round tie against Barrow on Tuesday night.
The Blues take on the League Two side at Stamford Bridge as Maresca looks to build some momentum with his team. It has been a positive start to life with the west Londoners for the Italian, who has led his side to three out of five wins in the Premier League, and they are in the league phase of the Conference League, that begins next week.
Around 48 hours since Chelsea were last in action, as they beat West Ham United by three goals to nil at the London Stadium in the early kick-off on Saturday afternoon, Maresca will preview his team’s upcoming cup tie. You can follow every word from Cobham with Bobby Vincent below.
Romeo Lavia drops major injury return hint
Chelsea star Romeo Lavia has hinted he is edging closer to a return from the hamstring injury that has kept him out for the last four weeks.
Despite getting a full pre-season under his belt and also starting the Premier League opener against Manchester City, Lavia picked up a new injury in late August. Now, the midfielder has hinted he could soon make a return to action.
Maresca will likely be asked about the Belgian during this afternoon’s press conference.
What time is the press conference?
Enzo Maresca is set to face the press at 1pm UK time.
The Chelsea boss will likely be in a decent mood following his side’s 3-0 victory over West Ham at the weekend!
