Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has disclosed that Cole Palmer will be available to face Leeds United in the Premier League.

Leeds United will host the Blues at Elland Road on Wednesday, December 3.

Cole Palmer, who was expected to feature last weekend against Arsenal, was an unused substitute following Moisés Caicedo’s sending off.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Daniel Farke’s side, the Italian tactician stated that Palmer could be in the starting lineup for the London club.

“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.

“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.”

The Blues will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways following the 1-1 draw against Arsenal last weekend.
