Enzo Maresca has let rip at the crazy summer schedule that could see his Chelsea stars’s seasons extended by almost two months, warning: “No one cares about player welfare”. Chelsea play their final Premier League game away to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, but will not wrap up their campaign until mid-July should they go deep in the Club World Cup.

The Conference League final, Club World Cup and international commitments have Maresca fearing for his players' fitness over the summer.

Maresca said he was not feeling any extra pressure ahead of a decisive three days during which his players will fight to seal their place in the top-five, before facing Betis in the Conference League final.
