Chelsea head coach, Enzo Maresca, has confirmed that Cole Palmer is fit and available for selection ahead of Wednesday’s clash against Leeds United at Elland Road.
Palmer, who was on the bench during Chelsea’s 1-1 home draw with Arsenal on Sunday, could even start in the upcoming fixture.
“He (Palmer) is available. He was on the bench last game. With 10 players, it was more complicated for Cole because he needs to come back in terms of fitness condition. The idea is to give him some minutes until he can play 90 minutes,” Maresca explained.
The Blues boss also provided an update on the rest of his squad. “Everyone is fine. Romeo is still recovering. Dario, he was okay and started some sessions with us. He now needs to slow down a little bit. He will be out again, hopefully nothing important.”
Chelsea remain unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions.
