Maresca doesn’t miss Félix despite FA Cup elimination

Chelsea suffered a 2-1 defeat against Brighton in the FA Cup’s Round of 32, failing to score from open play. This sparked questions about the decision to loan João Félix to Milan. However, head coach Enzo Maresca insists he has no regrets.

Details: The Chelsea manager stated that he is happy Félix is enjoying his time at Milan and that, on deadline day, he had two injured strikers, making the situation difficult. His priority now is the return of Nicolas Jackson.

Quote: "I don’t think we miss João. João is happy in Milan, and we’re happy for him there. On deadline day, we had two injured strikers, so it’s hard to dwell on that.

Jackson could return very soon. Sometimes, you need to play a few games without certain players to realize how important they are. Jackson’s pressing is always very good, and with the ball, he’s always a threat."

Reminder: Previously, Maresca expressed satisfaction with Chelsea’s activity in the transfer market.
