Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has declared the duo of Cole Palmer and Wesley Fofana fit to face Everton in Saturday’s Premier League clash.
Chelsea, looking for its first win in the English top-flight since last month’s trip to Burnley, is aiming to shake off a midweek Champions League loss at Atalanta where centre-back Fofana was forced off with an eye injury.
In a chat with the club’s website, Maresca stayed that Palmer and Fofana are fit enough to face Everton.
“(Palmer) is okay. He’s better. He is, at the moment, available… yesterday he finished the session with us with mixed feelings. But overall he’s fine,” Maresca said on Friday.

“Wesley is fine. He completed the session yesterday.”
Maresca said consistency was the “next step” for Chelsea as they sit fifth in the Premier League.
“How do we do that, it’s just one week, it’s not a long time, but for sure when something happens, the next game you are more prepared and you can avoid that,” he said.
“In terms of human beings, it’s impossible to be at the same level for the whole season but we need to learn things for the future.”
