Chelsea’s 3–0 victory over Nottingham Forest was marred by the Blues’ fifth red card in their last six matches, but Enzo Maresca is “not concerned” by his club’s disciplinary issues.
Malo Gusto became the latest Chelsea representative to see red this season when the midfielder committed a wild tackle on Neco Williams in the dying moments of Saturday’s clash at the City Ground. The Frenchman was shown his second yellow card of the afternoon and sent packing in the 87th minute.
The red card makes it four in four games for Chelsea. Yet Maresca is not sounding any alarm bells.
“Again, it’s something that we can do better, but I’m not concerned,” the Italian manager said after the Blues’ latest win. “Some of you might say, why is he not concerned? I’m not concerned, because I like to analyse.”
Maresca’s comments echo his previous sentiments shared ahead of the October international break, where he admitted each sending off must be “analysed case by case.”
