EPL: Maresca reveals Cole Palmer injury doubt ahead of Chelsea vs Wolves

Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has revealed Cole Palmer is an injury doubt ahead of their Premier League clash with Wolves this weekend.

Palmer played all 90 minutes in their last fixture, scoring as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Bournemouth.

However, Maresca has now said he does not know when the England midfielder will be available to train again.

He told reporters on Friday: โ€œCole [Palmer] is a doubt,.

โ€œHe was not in the session today. Levi [Colwill] was not in the session, Romeo [Lavia] and Enzo [Fernandez] were not involved.

โ€œCole didnโ€™t train today, we donโ€™t know if he will train in the next two days.โ€

On captain Reece James, who also scored against Bournemouth, Maresca added: โ€œFor Reece [James], itโ€™s not about if he scores goals, or how many minutes.

โ€œItโ€™s about managing his situation.

โ€œFor sure, if he plays 45 minutes it means he can be ready. But we donโ€™t want an injury again.

โ€œWe are trying to help him and we will do the same in this moment.โ€
