- Listen now: Everything is starting! Does Premier League really need to look at goal celebrations?
Enzo Maresca Instters Chelsea does not miss Joao Felix after the movement of the striker A Milan.
Felix joined the Blues last summer of Atlético de Madrid for £ 42.7 million after a short loan period in 2023.
However, Portugal International was played mainly at the conference and began only three Premier League games, with seven goals in 20 appearances throughout the competition.
Felix joined Milan on loan during the rest of the season on the day of the deadline of the January transfer window and scored in his debut when the Italian giants beat Rome 3-1 in Coppa Italia.
He also began in Saturday's victory over Empoli, while Chelsea was eliminated from the FA Cup in the fourth round after a 2-1 defeat by Brighton.
Despite the loss, Maresca insists that it was the right decision to let Felix leave.

Enzo Maresca insists that Chelsea does not miss the striker despite his Brighton defeat
He said: 'I don't think we miss Joao. Joao is happy there and we are happy that Joao is happy there. We had two wounds of the striker on the deadline, it is something difficult to think. Nico (Jackson) can return very soon.
'Sometimes I think you need to play some games without players to realize how important they are. Outside the ball, his (Jackson) pressing is always very good and in the ball it is always a threat. ''
The defeat in the Amex said that Chelsea is now out of the competitions of the National Cup and the Italian wants his team to give everything in the Premier League and the league of the conference.
'We start very well, we control and create some opportunities. The second half or less happened the same. If there is something good after a defeat, we can now focus on the Premier League and the conference, 'Maresca added.
It is a shame. No doubt. It is a difficult competition. Of course, it is a great pity for us. For me, a good season is to see the team improve the game after the game; Going for bad times, difficulty, is the only way in which this club can compete for something important.
'After granting the second goal, we had three or four opportunities to score so that the reaction was there. Each game is different. In terms of reaction, after the second goal we recognize, the reaction was there.
'For me, sure, we need to learn to win the Games 1-0. No doubt. In the same way, the last game against West Ham, we were losing 1-0 and then won 2-1. In terms of the team, we need to learn to win 1-0. The big clubs make that.
