Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca believes summer signing Alejandro Garnacho is finally in a position to start games after building up his fitness.
The Argentine joined from Manchester United in the summer and has made a few cameo appearances, including in the 3-1 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League during midweek.
But the head coach has given a more positive update and claims he could be in line for a starting spot against Manchester United this Saturday.
In his pre-match press conference, he said: “In the last two games, he came on and did very good.
“We are happy with how he is adapting in our style and what we want for our winger. If he is ready to start tomorrow? I think he is ready to start.”
On the Bayern loss, he added: “The reality is that they have all week to prepare a game and we played a game 48 hours ago but I prefer to play Champions League games.
