Cole Palmer is acquitted to appear against Manchester United tomorrow, Enzo confirmed Maresca, although the rest of the Chelsea team will only be evaluated after the last training session.
The blues make the journey to Old Trafford that is still faltering from a Midweek Champions League League against Bayern Munich and got a further blow when Forward Cole Palmer seemed injured in the final phase of the game.
Palmer, who suffered a muscle problem during the warming before last month’s victory, therefore missed the world cup qualifications of England with Andorra and Serbia.
The 23-year-old marked his return by coming from the bank to score in the second half against Brentford-being first Premier League goal of Open Play since the January collision with Bournemouth.
Palmer then started against Bayern, thought the net and lasted the full 90 minutes in the defeat of Allianz Arena. Nevertheless, concern flared when he kept an eye on his groin, so that the possibility of a new spell on the sidelines was increased prior to Saturday’s confrontation in Manchester.
Tackling the situation on Friday Pre-match press conferenceEnzo Maresca insisted that Palmer was ‘okay’, but admitted that uncertainty remains about the availability of other squadron members.
“Yes, Cole is okay,” Maresca confirmed at his press conference for the competition. We now have a session; We flew back yesterday. ‘
The Italian manager added to the suitability of his team, “There are some doubts here, but we didn’t do any sessions after Wednesday’s game, so we’ll do it.”
Chelsea to end Old Trafford Voodoo?
Chelsea arrives in Old Trafford on Saturday, hoping for the ten years Winless Run to break in the house of Manchester United.
The London Giants are Winless in their last 12 games against the Red Devils (L5 D7), a run dating from May 2013, when Chelsea was last with a 1-0 win.
No other land has been so unkind to them in the Premier League. Their profit percentage at Old Trafford is only 18% (6/33), the lowest against every opponent they have visited at 10 or more occasions.
History offers a memory of how rare momentum has been in this fixture. After he closed United 1-0 in May, Chelsea strives for back-to-back competition victories on their rivals-IS that they have not achieved since Carlo Ancelotti supervised a point of three straight victories between November 2009 and March 2011.
However, recent form offers encouragement. The blues have taken seven points of their last three competitions with United, and with only one defeat in their last six road competition matches (W3D2), they have reason to believe that they can finally tilt the balance in their favor.
