Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has explained his decision to start team captain Reece James in the upcoming match against Liverpool.
James, who has been sidelined with an injury, has yet to feature this season, making this his first appearance.
Quote: "Reece James starts because he has been training very well for the past two weeks. In fact, it was quite an easy decision to select him!
He had been injured, but now he's finally back. He’s trained well, and we hope he can come in and play many games, delivering several good performances for us," the Chelsea boss stated.
Reminder: Chelsea have made a stronger start to this season compared to last, with just one loss and two draws in the current campaign.
