Chelsea manager Maresca, has given positive news ahead of the FA Cup third round tie against Morecambe. "Reece and Romeo are available and I hope they can get some minutes," Maresca announced at his pre-match press conference.
The possible return of captain Reece James and midfielder Romeo Lavia could be a major boost for the Stamford Bridge outfit. "The rest are all available for selection, other than those that were already injured from before. Benoit Badiashile and Wesley(Fofana) are out and Kiernan (Dewsbury-Hall) is still injured, so he won’t be involved."
Another player who will not play in this weekend's FA Cup is young defender Aaron Anselmino as the Argentine will have time to settle in England after returning from his loan spell at Boca Juniors.
"We won’t see Aaron (against Morecambe). It’s still too early for him and the plan is to get him into condition to get him some minutes in the future, but not now," said Maresca.
"He had some injuries while with Boca and we will give him time to settle in here. To get used to English football, English weather and from there, we will look to use him," added the Italian boss.
