What's the story

Enzo Maresca, the head coach of Chelsea, has made a surprising decision to exclude Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia from the club's UEFA Conference League squad.

This unexpected move has raised several questions among fans and pundits alike.

The trio's omission is particularly surprising given their significant contributions to the team in recent times.

This is also seen as a bold move by Maresca, who joined Chelsea as manager in the summer.

Strategy

Maresca's strategic move for Chelsea's domestic success

The Blues will not call up the trio for the league phase of the competition.

The decision was made for 'load management' reasons as Chelsea are set to be involved in several competitions.

Maresca's decision to leave out Palmer, Fofana and Lavia is part of a larger strategy aimed at ensuring Chelsea's success in domestic competitions.

Maresca believes that by resting these key players during the Europa League Conference, they will be better prepared.
