Will Cole Palmer play against Liverpool: Enzo Maresca answers!

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has delivered an update on Cole Palmer's fitness ahead of their crucial match against Liverpool, confirming the attacking midfielder remains sidelined after being injured during the encounter with Manchester United.

Addressing the media in a pre-match press conference, Maresca stated that there have been no significant developments regarding Palmer's recovery. "Cole is still unavailable. Trevoh is suspended. At the moment we have seven or eight players out. Regarding Cole, I don’t have any major updates. We had a meeting this week about his condition, but for now, nothing new," the Chelsea manager revealed.

The Blues' injury concerns are compounded by the suspension of defender Trevoh Chalobah. Meanwhile, their upcoming opponents, Liverpool, are also dealing with a significant absence, as first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker faces a longer-than-anticipated spell on the treatment table. On a more positive note for the Reds, attackers Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa have resumed first-team training and are expected to be available for selection.
