1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE (English): Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager:
(On the team and how much is improving)
‘Yeah, for sure we are doing well since day one. We are improving things. For sure, we started just one month ago, still is too early to see the team in the way I would like to say, but in the same moment, I’m quite happy because in terms of process, I think the team is ahead where I expected, my expectation, so that’s important. But, yeah, for me, the good feeling is that game after game and day after day, I can see that the team is improving and in this moment is the most important thing. “
2. 00:40 SOUNDBITE (English): Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager:
(On Conor Gallagher)
“No, Connor. He is back is training in this moment a little bit apart. He’s doing some medical test and some training, and he won’t be involved for this game also because, you know better than me, he’s, in this moment, trying to find a solution with the club, so let’s see what happens.”
3. 01:04 SOUNDBITE (English): Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager:
(On Joao Felix and Victor Osimhen)
The only thing I can say is that, I have to say always the same. They are not our players, so it’s not correct, I think, to talk about the Napoli players, or about, who is the other one? Atlético Madrid player. In this moment, the club knows exactly what they think in terms of what we need, in case we need to do something. And hopefully before we finish the window transfer we can bring some player.
4. 01:37 SOUNDBITE (English): Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager:
(On facing City)
“No, absolutely, because I said too many times, after eight and nine years together, you can do so many different things. So, Pep is not a manager that is always doing the same. He is always changing, and with us it will be exactly the same. So, it will be tough game, but as you said, exciting (because we) start the Premier (League) , start against the champion and we will see. “

STORYLINE:
England midfielder Conor Gallagher has returned to Chelsea and is training alone at the club after issues arose in completing his move to Atletico Madrid.
Atletico posted a message on social-media platform X, formerly Twitter, last Saturday with a picture of Gallagher at Wanda Metropolitano stadium, saying he was there to “finalize his transfer" for a reported 33 million pounds ($42.5 million).
However, Gallagher has had to go back to Chelsea without tying up the deal, reportedly because of the collapse of an agreement that would have seen Atletico striker Samu Omorodion move in the opposite direction.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said Friday that Gallagher is back in London, “training a little bit apart” and will not be involved in the team’s opening Premier League game against Manchester City on Sunday.
“He is trying to find a solution with (the) club,” Maresca said.
"Hopefully, for Conor, this situation is going to finish where the player, the club, the manager, all the people involved are happy.”
Gallagher was Chelsea’s vice-captain last season and played for England at the recent European Championship.
Chelsea are set to face Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday.
