Cole Palmer News: Fit for full game

Palmer is now fit to feature 90 minutes for Chelsea, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference. "I think Cole is ready to play 90 minutes, yes. He played for an hour against Everton, then he did more than 70 minutes against Newcastle. So I think the progression is there, he's feeling good and I think he could play for 90 minutes now.

Palmer was carefully managed in recent weeks during his return from injury and was limited to reduced minutes with the Blues. The playmaker is now fully fit and can play the full 90 minutes moving forward. This is great news for Chelsea, since Palmer can be a difference maker in every minute of the game, and having him fit to play all of them will provide a boost to the frontline.
