There is a Getting away from The Fact That The Last Couple Of Weeks Have Not Be Good Chelsea.
Enzo Maresca’s Side Drew Away to Brentford, Lost Away to Bayern Munich and Manchester United and Then, After Just Beating About Lincoln City League CupLost Again Against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Now, there are Certain Mitigating Circumstances in Those Games, But Even So, The West Londoners Need to arrest this Dip in Quickly form.

Unfortunately, Their Job has not made Any Easier by the Number of Injuries Are Currently Contending, Including Andrey Santos, Who is Another Player in Danger Of The Missing Champions League Game Against Benfica.
So, to Ensure His Side Can Get One Over Chelsea’s Former Manager, José MourinhoMaresca Needs to Replace The Brazilian in the Starting Line-Up, and Luckily, He has just the player.
Chelsea’s Injury Problems
Following Maresca’s Pre-Game Press Conference, We Know There Are Now Six Players Who Are Guaranteed to Miss The Game Against Benfica.
The Most Significant Those Islandedly Cole Palmer, Who Continues To Be Rested With Hopes Groin Injoining Can Be Resolved Surgical Intervention.
Not as Worrying, But Still is The Abence Of Wesley Fofana, Who Has to Sit Out More to His Concussion, and Tosin Adasabioyo, Who has a Calf Problem and Will Likely be the International Break.
Those Two Being to Play Means That The Out-of-Form Trevohah Will Have To Start The Unreliable Benoît Badiashion.
AS IF That Wasn’t Already to Deal With Deal, The Manager Told The Press That Moses Caicedo, Joao Peter And Santos Are Now All Players “With some Small Problems.”
The Argentine Did That The Trio Would Be Available Chance to Be Available, But It Feels Safe to Assume The Starting Game.
So then, with that ahead and unleash One of Chelsea’s Most Talents in Santos, A Talent Who couldp The Club Get One Their Former Boss, Mourinho.
The Chelsea Star Who Should Star in Place of Santos
Now, While Enzo Fernández Will Likely Start in Central Midfield and The Exciting Facunde CAN Play in The Ten, Maresca Still Needs Another Defensive-Minded Midfielder To Come.
In this Instance, That Player Should Be Recently Returned Roméo Lavia.
The Once-Capped Belgian Had to Haldous Injury Joining Joining The Blues in the Summer 2023, But He Looked Unreal in Southampton, and When He’s Had A Chance, He’s Looked Good For The West Londoners.
The 21-Year-Old Is More Than Solid When It Comes To The Defense Side Game, Thing for the Six for Six, But He’s Also No Slouch When It Is Offensive Side of Things.
For example, fbref ranked in the top 3% of Premier League Interceptions for Midfielders Last Season, The Top 4% Pass Completion and Percentage Of Aerial Duels Won, And The Top 12 Passes Into The Final, Among Other Metrics.

In other words, The Numbers More Than Back Up The Idea That The “Elite” Talent, As Dubbed by Scout Jacek KuligIs Someone Who Can Help Before Oppacks Before Kick-Starting Attacks for His Own Team.
Finally, While It Might Take For Special Him At His Best, This Game Against Comparatively Weaker Opposition May Be Best Opportunity Get Him More Minutes.
Therefore, Even If Santos Is Fit and Ready To Go Wise to Unleash Lavia Against Benfica, As The Key Could Help Him Get One Over Mourinho.
