Chelsea's manager addressed why Christopher Nkunku starts less frequently than Nicolas Jackson

Chelsea has a wealth of attacking players, making it challenging to decide who to field in the starting lineup. Head coach Enzo Maresca explained why Christopher Nkunku starts less frequently than Nicolas Jackson.

Details: Before the Premier League match, the Italian specialist clarified that the team boasts numerous attacking talents, and deploying them all would disrupt balance. Maresca also mentioned that he spoke with the players, and everyone understands the situation.

Quote: "I have told them from day one that we cannot play with 7 or 8 attacking players; otherwise, there’s no balance in defense. Nkunku and Jackson can compete, and they are ready," said Maresca.

The coach added that it is beneficial that both Nkunku and Jackson are in healthy competition. Nicolas scored two goals in the last game, while Christopher netted three.

Reminder: On Saturday, September 28, Chelsea will face Brighton in the sixth round of the Premier League. The Dailysports team has prepared information on where and when to watch this match.

Chelsea is actively monitoring the progress of Bayer Leverkusen and Nigeria national team striker Victor Boniface. It is known that the Blues' scouts were present at Leverkusen's recent match against Wolfsburg.
