Enzo Maresca confirms Wesley Fofana is hopeful of returning before the end of the season, despite the Chelsea boss suggesting he wouldn't play again this term.
TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 Injury news? Reece James and Romeo Lavia will play some minutes. No new injuries.
0:25 Anselmino will not play. We will put him in condition to play minutes in future.
0:57 Fofana out for the season? We communicate in English and French. I've spoken to Wes, the 12-16 weeks the club mentioned is realistic. Wes thinks he can recover before that.
2:01 I like Marc Guehi. But he's a Palace player. I like our central defensive options too.
2:40 Chalobah? He's a good player, we will see.
2:55 Dewsbury-Hall is injured. Chilwell in this moment he is probably going to leave so we will not use him either.
3:36 The FA Cup is very important. Nothing to do with our league position. It's another competition.
4:09 Now I know many things about Morecambe.
4:23 Dewsbury-Hall is our player. He has a future here.
5:03 He will fight for his place, he has to do that. I know him well.
5:21 Bringing back loan players is an internal discussion. It's a decision we take all together.
5:48 I'm the one working every day with the players. I have to have input.
6:21 Casadei won't be squad tomorrow. Same situation as Chilwell.
6:52 He didn't get minutes here not because he's not very good. We have a lot of players in that position.
7:32 During a season you have moments where you score goals at the end and you conceded goals at the end. Hopefully this is just a moment.
8:26 Reaction hasn't been any different from the players. No one thought we would be in second place. It was not real. Every team has a struggle, it's part of the season.
9:25 Even the last game against Palace the mood was not the best in the dressing room. Players have the desire to win all the games.
9:56 Culture and history of this competition makes it what it is.
