Enzo Maresca hints at exciting debut for Chelsea’s high-profile summer signing

Chelsea fans have reason to be excited as manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that new signing Pedro Neto is fit and ready for the Premier League opener against Manchester City this Sunday. The Portuguese winger, who recently joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a seven-year deal, is poised to make his debut at Stamford Bridge.

Adapting to Chelsea’s tactics

While Neto’s physical condition is not in question, Maresca highlighted that the 24-year-old is still in the process of adapting to Chelsea’s tactical style. Speaking at Friday’s pre-match press conference, Maresca mentioned.

“Pedro, his physical condition is good. The only problem with Pedro is that he’s here two or three days. He needs to understand the way we want to play. For sure, he’s fit. He’ll be with us. We’ll see if it’s from the start or on the bench. He’s completely fit.”

This leaves fans eagerly speculating whether Neto will start or make an appearance from the bench.

Chelsea’s pre-season has seen impressive performances from wingers like Raheem Sterling and Noni Madueke, which could influence Maresca’s decision on the line-up. However, many anticipate Neto becoming a regular starter alongside Cole Palmer, thanks to his pace and ability to challenge defences.

A boost to Chelsea’s attack

Neto’s arrival is a significant boost to Chelsea’s attacking arsenal. His experience in the Premier League and his past performances against Manchester City make him a strategic addition to the team. Even if he doesn’t start, a brief appearance could be pivotal, given his knack for stretching defences with speed and skill.

Wearing the number 19 shirt, previously donned by Chelsea icons like Diego Costa and Mason Mount, Neto aims to make an immediate impact and win over the Stamford Bridge crowd.

Team news and expectations

While anticipation builds around Neto’s potential debut, Chelsea will be missing captain Reece James due to an injury picked up during the off-season. Maresca was tight-lipped about the specifics of James’ condition, simply responding, “I don’t know,” when asked if it was another hamstring issue.

This Sunday, all eyes will be on Stamford Bridge as Chelsea takes on Manchester City. Fans are eager to see if Neto will don the blue shirt for the first time and make a significant contribution to a victorious start to the season. With his fitness affirmed and his integration into the team underway, the stage is set for an exciting Premier League opener against the defending champions.
