Chelsea’s head coach Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Cole Palmer is fit to face Manchester United in their upcoming Premier League clash at Old Trafford tomorrow.
Following the Blues’ midweek defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, all eyes are on the fitness of the squad, with Maresca stating that Palmer is available for selection.
Maresca, speaking at his pre-match press briefing, reassured fans about Palmer’s readiness for the fixture. “Yes, Cole is okay. We have a training session now where we will look at the players. We flew back yesterday [from Munich], so we need to assess some of the guys before we make a decision for the weekend,” Maresca confirmed.

. “We have some doubts on some players. We haven’t had a session since the game on Wednesday, we will see after today’s training session,” he added.
In addition to Palmer, another potential addition to the matchday squad is Marc Guiu. Guiu, who was recalled early from his loan spell at Sunderland after Liam Delap’s injury, could provide a much-needed option in the final third.
“Marc Guiu is back, and the reason why he is back is because we intend to use him. He is a good player, and while he needs to improve, we know what Marc can offer us. For sure, we are going to use him,” said Maresca.
