🔎 Opinion: Youth, Depth, and a New Identity Under Maresca

This squad says a lot about Chelsea’s direction under Enzo Maresca. Not only are key players like Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer, and Reece James leading the charge, but the inclusion of youngsters like Essugo (#14), Delap (#9), and Sarr (#19) shows the club's commitment to rebuilding with purpose.

Chelsea's group is no walk in the park — Flamengo and LAFC both bring flair and form, while ES Tunis remain a dangerous side in African football. But with a balanced squad that mixes raw energy and seasoned potential, the Blues could be in for a deep run if their stars shine bright.

The absence of big names like Raheem Sterling and João Félix (who were left out of the squad) further reinforces that this is a team evolving, and quickly.
