Blues boss again goes public with his frustrations over one player’s work rate despite his impressive performance against Wolves

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has explained Noni Madueke's absence from his matchday squad to face Morecambe in the FA Cup third round. The Blues went into the game during a winless run that reached four games after drawing 1-1 with Crystal Palace last weekend.

Nevertheless, speaking at a press conference after the game, Maresca did not shy away from criticising the England international. Maresca is no stranger to demanding more from the 22-year-old, who has sometimes been dropped to the substitutes' bench or left out of a squad since the Italian's arrival.

Madueke, who played 84 minutes before being replaced by academy product Tyrique George, netted his seventh goal of the campaign against Wolves, who sit just above the relegation zone in 17th. But after the final whistle, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca ordered the England international improve his work rate.

Jeff Stelling has warned Enzo Maresca against Chelsea signing Alejandro Garnacho from Man United ahead of the January transfer deadline.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca asked for "immediate" improvement from Noni Madueke, despite the winger scoring in a 3-1 win over Wolves.
