Jadon Sancho is eagerly anticipating his debut for Chelsea this upcoming weekend against Bournemouth. Enzo Maresca, the Blues' coach, has been thoroughly impressed with Sancho's performance in training so far, but he believes that Noni Madueke is currently the most formidable winger on the team.
Sancho's loan move from Manchester United to Stamford Bridge came as a surprise, but he has yet to make his debut for the club. During the international break, he had the opportunity to impress Maresca, and it seems like he did just that. The Italian coach had nothing but praise for the young English player, stating that he is exactly the type of player he expected and that he will undoubtedly make a positive impact on the team.
However, with the likes of Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Christopher Nkunku, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Kiernan Dewbury-Hall all competing for a spot in the starting lineup behind striker Nicolas Jackson, Sancho definitely has some tough competition. Maresca has his eye on Madueke, who has consistently shown his ability to take on defenders and create scoring opportunities. The coach believes that Madueke is currently the best at this skill and has been impressed by his performance in pre-season matches, where he scored goals and set up chances for his teammates.
Maresca revealed that he encourages his wingers to take on defenders one-on-one at least ten times during the game, as it is a dream come true for them to have the opportunity to do so. He has been particularly impressed with Madueke's ability to do this and believes that he has been the standout performer in this aspect of the game. However, the coach also acknowledged that all of the team's wingers have been working hard and performing well.
Madueke has had an exceptional start to the season, scoring a hat-trick against Wolves in the Premier League and even making his debut for the England national team, coming off the bench in their match against Finland. Maresca expressed his delight for the young player and emphasized the importance of him maintaining his form and not becoming complacent.
The Blues will face Bournemouth in their upcoming match, and all eyes will be on Sancho to see if he will make his much-anticipated debut. With a talented group of wingers to choose from, Maresca has plenty of options to choose from, and it will be interesting to see who he decides to start.
