BY JENN NOMAMIUKOR
Chelsea’s manager, Enzo Maresca, has said that Cole Palmer is back playing again. He called Palmer “probably our best player.”
Before a big game, Maresca was happy Palmer is recovering but said they need to be patient as he gets fully fit again.
Fabrizio Romano’s X post on Friday included Maresca saying, “Palmer is back, and he’s probably our best player.
We are happy he’s back.”
He added, “Now we need to give him time to be 100% match fit.”
Speaking on the possibility of Cole Palmer and Estêvão starting in a game, he said both players can feature, but depends on the opposition and tactical plan.
“Palmer and Estêvão can play together, for sure.
“It depends on which team and the game plan. But for sure, they, and the fans, are excited. We are excited,” he said.
The comments show Maresca is open to trying different ways to attack as Chelsea work on getting the right mix of players in their team.
