Shaun Wright-Phillips has raised concerns about Chelsea’s squad, describing it as talented but excessively large. This, he says, is causing problems for two of Enzo Maresca’s summer signings.
He pointed out that the team’s depth, while impressive, leads to challenges in giving all players enough playing time. This situation creates a bottleneck affecting the development and confidence of some new additions.
"Chelsea's talented but bloated squad is creating a problem for two of Enzo Maresca's summer signings," Wright-Phillips noted.
The implication is that balancing a large squad requires careful management to ensure all players, especially new signings, get sufficient opportunities to prove themselves.
Chelsea's deep squad, praised for talent but criticized for size, risks impeding progress for some summer signings under Enzo Maresca due to limited playing time.
