Maresca has sent a similar message when quizzed on the Garnacho rumours, telling reporters: “I'm happy with what we have at this moment. I said many times, on the right side it's Pedro [Neto] and Noni [Madueke], left side Jadon [Sancho] and Misha [Mudryk] was with us, now he's not with us. Tyrique [George] is the profile that can help us. In this moment we are okay.”
