EPL: I didn't give him enough minutes to prove himself - Maresca on Chelsea star

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has admitted that he didn't give striker Marc Guiu enough minutes to prove himself in the Premier League last year.

Maresca made the admission ahead of Chelsea's away Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.

Guiu is currently behind the likes of Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku in Maresca's attacking options.

The young striker has been mostly used in the UEFA Conference League so far this season.

"We have Marc Guiu, who is doing very well in the Conference League," Maresca said at his pre-match press conference.

"I didn't give him enough minutes in the Premier League to prove himself.

"Hopefully, we can start giving him some minutes very soon."
