After Chelsea's comeback victory against Fulham, manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that Malo Gusto's muscle injury is severe, potentially sidelining him for an indefinite period. Gusto, who had a notable impact by substituting at halftime for Reece James, left the match in the final moments with an injury. Maresca emphasized Gusto's importance to the team's recent form while addressing James's pre-planned substitution to manage his fitness after multiple injuries. Chelsea currently sits fifth in the league, remaining competitive for a Champions League spot despite the setback with Gusto.
"Unfortunately it's not a good one, a muscle problem. You can see - against Ipswich, second half he was inside, changed the game, today he was inside, changed the game - how important Malo is for us."
"Fantastic, very happy because [James] played 90 minutes two days ago and played again 45, so for us as a team it's an important moment, because we can start to think about him every three days and this is fantastic for us."
