Dilab was excluded for 12 weeks, but Palmer closes the return of Chelsea

Enzo Maresca was under a microscope at his last press conference, but he gave many answers to the urgent questions before Chelsea’s excellent return.

Blues takes on Princeford on Saturday night in another derby in London, the fourth of the season.

But the last of them was without a talisman of Cole Palmer, who picked up a warm -up process before crushing it in West Ham before the international break.

However, the England star can be in a line to return this week, according to his main coach.

He said: “Cole participated in the session yesterday for the first time, not the entire session.

“We have another session this afternoon and we will try with it to see if he is fine, otherwise it will go out tomorrow.

“He is recovering from an injury, he does not run it, he is recovering from an injury. When he is available, we need to manage him because of the amount of games.”

Liam Delap will be marginalized until December.

The attacker picked up the knee strings against Fulham before the international break.

Marcelsa also hinted that the Summer Signing Alejandro Grancho may be in his first appearance line in Chelsea.

He added: “It works well. Certainly, he needs to work because he has arrived here not 100 % fit. He needs to work. He works well and we will see. We hope we can give him minutes.”

In some of the slightly worse news for the West London Club, Marisca confirmed that the Liam Dilab breed in the knee strings he suffered against Fulham will keep him for 12 weeks.

There is no comment on the fees

As news was destroyed this week, Chelsea has been handed over 74 financial charges related to various violations, including agents that are not properly registered, it was imperative that the case be raised at the last Maricca conference.

But the Italian was not abandoning information in terms of information, as the main coach withdrew the club line in which they collaborated completely with the investigation.

He said: “I know the club that they are satisfied with the process. Personally, I have nothing to add. I have no idea, to be honest. I want to focus on the field, which is something I can control.

“The rest is not in my hands.”
