Enzo Maresca reveals Chelsea have four new injury doubts for Wolves clash

Today at 08:26 AM

Cole Palmer is one of four Chelsea players who are now doubtful for Monday’s Premier League clash with Wolves, Enzo Maresca confirmed.

Despite winning 5-0 against Morecambe in the FA Cup, Chelsea are winless in their last five games in the Premier League.

The Blues needed an injury-time equaliser from Reece James to salvage a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in midweek and now prepare to host Wolves on Monday.

However, speaking at his pre-match press conference, Maresca confirmed that Palmer – along with Enzo Fernandez, Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia – missed Friday’s training session in a clear sign that the hectic festive period may have finally caught up with his squad.

‘Cole, Levi, Enzo and Romeo were not in the session today so those four players are doubts for Monday’s game because they picked up problems in the last game,’ the Italian confirmed.

Asked specifically about Palmer’s injury, Maresca replied: ‘Cole was the ankle. In the first half they (the opponent) kicked him. He didn’t train today and we don’t know if he’s going to train tomorrow or in two days.

‘The same situation is for Enzo, Romeo and Levi.’
