Chelsea boss Maresca: Gusto a main player here

The French fullback has battled for form as the team's results have nosedived.

But Maresca said on Friday: "I'm very happy with Malo, to be honest. I think he is doing well with us.

"In this moment, to judge players, it is probably as a consequence of the results also. Malo helped us a lot when we were in a good run.

"I think at some point of the season, we won seven, eight or nine games in a row and he was a fantastic part of that. In this moment, we can probably only judge Malo as a consequence of the results but Malo is a main player, an important player and he is doing well."
