Chelsea supporters expressed their dissatisfaction on social media regarding the absence of key players Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku in their lineup against Wolves.
Lavia was completely missing, while Nkunku was benched, which fueled a backlash from fans. One fan exclaimed, “NO NKUNKU??? Sack Enzo Maresca,” while another asked, “What’s the deal with Lavia now?”
The decision to leave these players out led to doubts about the coach’s tactics, with one fan sarcastically remarking, “Benching star players like we’re in the UCL semis.”
Some fans speculated that injury management might be behind the decisions, suggesting that Lavia’s workload was being carefully controlled due to his past injuries.
Chelsea, still seeking their first Premier League win of the season following a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, are facing Wolves away on Sunday at 2 PM West African time.
