Chelsea manager Maresca discusses contrasting Sancho and Mudryk fortunes

Maresca praised the player ahead of Saturday's early kickoff against West Ham, stating: "Since he arrived here, he has been putting in a lot of effort both on and off the ball. During the international break, we put in extra work to help him improve even more. I am pleased with his progress."

Maresca was also asked about Mykhaylo Mudryk's situation and how he can force his way back into the team.

He replied: "Training session. Training sessions are the only way to improve players. We try to improve all of them every day with some of them doing an extra session at the end. Misha is one of them. At the moment, he is not playing, but that does not mean he will not play in the future."
