Enzo Maresca is leaving it to Chelsea’s players to punish themselves for their glut of red cards, with the Italian head coach revealing there is an internal fine system in place between his stars.
In the build-up to facing Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday night, the Blues have seen red in five of their last six games in all competitions, including one for Maresca. Malo Gusto became the latest to be dismissed for a silly second yellow in their away win at Nottingham Forest.
When Frank Lampard was Chelsea manager in 2019-20, an internal fines list was leaked.
