🚨 BREAKING: Enzo Maresca gives Cole Palmer injury update

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has remained coy as to Cole Palmer's fitness ahead of their Premier League return this weekend.

Palmer has been struggling with a groin problem and played just one of their three games so far this term.

"Cole took part in the session yesterday for the first time, not the entire session," Maresca said.

"We have one more session this afternoon and we are going to try with him to see if he's okay, otherwise he will be out tomorrow.

"He is recovering from an injury, it's not managing him, it's recovering from an injury. When he is available, we need to manage him because of the amount of games."

The Italian also commented on Nicolas Jackson's move to Bayern Munich on deadline day.

"Nico, for me, it is quite easy in terms of he is a Bayern Munich player. I sent him a message and wished him all the best. He was working well when he was here, so I wish him all the best."
