Enzo Maresca has spoken on Chelsea's decision to recall Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Crystal Palace.

“The process is quite an easy process in terms of we have a few injuries so we were looking for solutions,” Maresca said.

“We thought probably the best solution was to call back Trev – first of all because we know him very well and second because we are sure he can help us, so we decided for that solution.

“He knows the house (training ground) better than me! First of all he was very happy. I can see his face, I had a chat with him a few days ago and I had a chat with him this morning, and you can see in his eyes he is really happy and we are happy he’s here.”

Last summer, Maresca left Chalobah out of the squad for the pre-season tour in the United States, suggesting that he did not count on him.

Now, with Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile injured, Chalobah has a chance to play meaningful minutes for the Blues — even though he still has not convinced everyone at the club.
