Maresca confirmed that captain Reece James has suffered another hamstring injury and will miss this game, although he hopes the issue is a minor one.
Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill withdrew from international duty but both are in training again with Chelsea and are hoped to play a full role on Saturday.
Jadon Sancho being back from illness gives Maresca a virtually clean bill of health, although the Manchester United loanee is most likely to feature among the substitutes alongside ex-Leicester midfielder Kienan Dewsbury-Hall.
Chelsea predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Sanchez (GK) — Cucurella, Fofana, Colwill, Veiga — Lavia, Caicedo — Madueke, Palmer, Neto — Jackson
Injured: James, Colwill (doubt), Gusto (doubt), Jorgensen (doubt), Lavia (doubt), Palmer (doubt)
