Copenhagen 1-2 Chelsea: What Maresca said
Chelsea hold on to win 1st leg in Copenhagen
The competition favourites had to wait until a minute into the second half to take the lead, when Reece James fired a low shot from distance that found its way past København goalkeeper Diant Ramaj. Chelsea then doubled their advantage in the 65th minute courtesy of an emphatic strike from substitute Enzo Fernández following a pass form Tyrique George.
Maresca added: "Cole gets excited even to play training sessions, so he's always happy to play games. It was planned [to add him at this stage]. For the first six months of the season, we tried to give him more rest - him, Wes, Romeo. Unfortunately, the other two got injuries but the plan was exactly this plan."
