Enzo Maresca gives Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia injury update ahead of Man City vs Chelsea Enzo Maresca has suggested that Cole Palmer is not ‘100 per cent fit’ ahead of Chelsea’s huge Premier League clash at Manchester City.
A run of just one win in six over the new year appears to have ended their title challenge, but qualifying for the Champions League has always been the main aim and victory at struggling City would go a long way to ensure that.
Though Maresca has been able to welcome back a couple of players, Chelsea still have a number of fitness issues with Romeo Lavia suffering yet another injury setback.
But when asked if Palmer was ‘100 per cent fit’, Maresca said in his pre-match press conference: ‘He is better, he is better.
The attacking midfielder managed to play 84 minutes of the 3-1 win over Wolves on Monday night, and should be fit to start against his former club on Saturday.
