Enzo Maresca's Chelsea press conference in full - Cole Palmer injury, Filip Jorgensen transfer, & more
"He's not available for tomorrow for sure, Barcelona, for sure, Arsenal, for sure. Unfortunately he had an accident at home two days ago and he hit his toe. It's nothing important, but for sure he's not back next week. We don't know (how much longer he'll be out). The only thing we know is that he's not available for this week, next week. It can happen. I wake up many times during the night to go to the toilet. I hit my head, my legs, my everything, so it can happen."
"Yeah, I said many times that Axel and Raheem [Sterling] are Chelsea players. Axel is helping the second team, he's helping the younger players. During the international break we had just five, six players here, so we need some second team players. And Axel was part of some session with second team players, but I think it was just one session with us. At the moment he's helping second team, he's working with second team and he's there with second team. He's a Chelsea player and he's with second team."
Cole Palmer is unavailable for upcoming matches, including tomorrow and fixtures against Barcelona and Arsenal, after hitting his toe at home. The absence will span this week and next with uncertainty over a longer return. Axel Disasi has been assisting the second team and younger players, training in sessions during the international break when few first-team players were present. Disasi remains a Chelsea player but is currently working primarily with the second team. Raheem Sterling is also a Chelsea player in a similar situation. Filip Jorgensen was spoken to at the season's start with no recent transfer discussions.
