Cole Palmer will be fit to start the Villa Park contest
Chelsea face a big boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Aston Villa. The Blues star Cole Palmer is now back to training and he might be back on Saturday night.

It won’t be an easy game for Chelsea as the Villa are aiming Champions League spot with a 4th spot in the Premier League table. They are also into the semifinal of the Europa Conference League.
