Enzo Maresca has admitted he feels "shame" about the treatment of Ben Chilwell but has reiterated that the full-back does not fit into his Chelsea plans.

Enzo Maresca admits he ‘feels shame’ over his treatment of Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell. The Champions League winner and England international has made just one appearance for Chelsea this season. Maresca admitted before the start of the campaign that Chilwell was not part of his plans and would struggle for game-time at Stamford Bridge.

Renato Veiga and goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen also came in and Maresca hinted his players accept the reality that a large squad means inevitable changes between competitions. The Blues face Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday looking to end a four-game winless run.
