Enzo Maresca breaks silence on Christopher Nkunku
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca reacted to Christopher Nkunku's performance following the 3-0 win over Legia Warsaw in the Conference League.
The Blues sealed a comfortable victory over Legia in the first leg of the quarter-final on the road, but they could have won by a bigger margin.
Nkunku was once again frustrating in the final third and speaking after the win, Maresca acknowledged that Nkunku is lacking confidence.
However, the Italian added that the former Leipzig man is working hard every day and backed him to come good for the Blues in the near future.
He said: "A lack of confidence in this moment but the only way to deal with that is to work hard. The good thing about Christo is that he's working well every day.
Chelsea are in pole position to reach the last four of the Conference League. Maresca is expected to play a strong XI against Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Sunday.
