Chelsea has given Enzo Maresca a number of positive injury boosts ahead of their Premier League matchup at King Power Stadium against Leicester City. With the Blues having a strong start to the 2024–25 season, the 44-year-old rejoins his old team. This follows the observation of three important players returning to Chelsea’s first team training on Monday: Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, and Jadon Sancho. Chelsea’s debut under new boss Enzo Maresca has been promising.
Chelsea’s debut under new boss Enzo Maresca has been promising. Ahead of their matchup with Leicester, they are currently ranked third on the Premier League table. However, Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal before halftime meant they had to cope with a number of injury concerns over the international break. Romeo Lavia and Malo Gusto were both substituted out in the closing minutes of the match against the Gunners at Stamford Bridge, and neither player played for his country during the interval.
Fofana, Gusto, Colwill, Sancho, Palmer: Chelsea handed major training boost
After Lisandro Martinez’s forceful challenge on Palmer’s knee during the tie with Manchester United earlier this month, Palmer has been struggling. Jadon Sancho, in the meantime, has missed many weeks of work because of illness and a setback following a minor hit. At the start of the week, Colwill, Sancho, and Palmer were all spotted practicing at Cobham, where preparations were already under way.
Benoit Badiashile, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Reece James, and Filip Jorgensen all trained. Kiernan will also be making his debut appearance back with the Foxes since leaving. After their final games for Argentina and Ecuador later this week, players like Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo will return, and Pedro Neto will soon make a comeback after Portugal manager Roberto Martinez permitted the attacker to leave the camp early.
