Wright-Phillips: Too Many Wingers Hurt Chelsea

Shaun Wright-Phillips, a former Chelsea winger, has voiced concerns over the size of the current Chelsea squad under Enzo Maresca, specifically pointing to the club's numerous attacking signings as a potential issue. Chelsea invested heavily in new forwards, resulting in fierce competition for places, which Wright-Phillips believes is hindering the development and performance of several wingers.

He suggests that the sheer number of wingers at the club, all capable of playing for other top-flight teams, means none are consistently getting the necessary game time. Wright-Phillips, drawing from his own playing experience, emphasized that regular matches are crucial for wingers to build confidence, develop rhythm, and perform at their peak consistently.
