Speaking on the situation and Lesley Ugochukwu’s move to Burnley, Maresca said: “I have this kind of news from the club because I don’t pay attention to the ones that are training and need to leave. I just focus on how we prepare the session, how we can win games.”

Chelsea will begin their Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, August 17.
