Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca stressed the need for his team to improve discipline after accumulating four red cards in their last six matches.
Ahead of the Champions League fixture against Ajax, Maresca described some of the recent sendings-off, such as the one against Nottingham Forest, as "completely avoidable".
He offered some context for red cards against Manchester United and Brighton, attributing them to players' aggressive desire not to concede and the difficulty of making split-second decisions.
Maresca voiced concerns that the recent disciplinary issues, coupled with the squad's injury woes, are complicating team selection.
He provided an update on injured players, confirming Enzo Fernandez participated in training, while Liam Delap is nearing a return to the main squad.
