Cole Palmer injury: Chelsea star leads wave of major new fitness doubts as eight could miss Wolves clash

Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Cole Palmer is among several new injury doubts for Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Wolves. The Blues are also sweating on the fitness of Levi Colwill, Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia ahead of the game at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.
Speaking on Friday, Maresca said: “We have Cole, he is a doubt. Levi was not in the session today. “Enzo was not in the session today. Romeo was not in the session today. We have three or four doubts after the last game.”. On Palmer specifically, Maresca said: “First half [against Bournemouth], they kicked him. He didn’t train today. We don’t know if he’s going to train tomorrow or in two days. It is the same with Romeo, with Enzo, and with Levi.”.
Chelsea are already without defenders Wesley Fofafa and Benoit Badiashile, while summer signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has also been sidelined of late. Mykhailo Mudryk remains unavailable, meaning Maresca could be without as many as eight first-team players against Wolves as he attempts to snap a recent slump that has seen his side fail to win any of their last five league games, having won the previous five in a row before that.
