Maresca Says Chelsea Struggled Without a Striker in Brighton Loss
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has admitted that playing without a natural striker has been a tough challenge for his team.
With Nicolas Jackson sidelined for up to eight weeks due to a hamstring injury, Maresca had no choice but to start Christopher Nkunku as the lone forward.
However, Chelsea struggled in attack and failed to register a single shot on target as they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Friday night.
“It’s not easy when you don’t have a proper number nine,” Maresca said. “You have to find alternative solutions. In the final third, we struggled to do things we were doing well just a week or two ago.
This is the toughest period since I arrived, but we’re still in the fight and need to finish strong.”
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.

The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
French footballer Kylian Mbappé has spoken on which player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will score more goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It can be noted that the FIFA World Cup will begin on Thursday and will be co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
The player picked Lionel Messi to score more goals than Ronaldo during the tournament.
