The head coach of Chelsea Football Club, Enzo Maresca, has cleared the air about the future of Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku.
The Italian was asked about the future of both forwards during his pre-match press conference ahead of their trip to the London Stadium where Chelsea will face West Ham United on Friday, August 22, 2025.
He confirmed that they are both fit but will not be available for the game against the Hammers.
He said,
“We will see if they are going to be here with us. If not, it means they found a solution. I think it’s better if they find a solution because they are going to be more happy. Both won’t be in the squad tomorrow”.
Both players played their part in Chelsea’s quest to win the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup last season. Maresca also confirmed that Wesley Fofana will be available for the game against West Ham after missing out on the better part of the 2024/25 season.
He said,
“I spoke with Wes Fofana everyday. He is very, very happy. He is joining all the sessions with us. He’s very happy. From tomorrow, he is with us and can also get some minutes. We are happy, and he is happy. Instagram, as you know, I don’t have any idea”.
Chelsea supporters will be hoping for a victory after their draw against Crystal Palace on the opening weekend.
