""We don't know when, but for sure it will be soon," Maresca told a news conference on Monday. "He's already on the pitch, he's already touching the ball and the feeling is good. "We are here for tomorrow's game that is Champions League and then after that we start to think about Arsenal." Pushed on whether he Palmer could play against the Gunners, Maresca replied: "I don't think so at the moment.""
""The most important thing for Estêvão is that he has to enjoy fully, he has to be happy, and not think about being better than this player or another player, but only think about himself and try to be a better than himself day by day, try to work hard, improve and for sure he is going to be a top player for this club. "Estevao is already playing a high level, in the starting elev"
Cole Palmer suffered a groin injury in September and later fractured his left toe in a freak accident at home. The injury rules him out of Chelsea's Champions League match with Barcelona and the Premier League visit from Arsenal. Chelsea created a specially adapted boot to aid Palmer's recovery and he has returned to pitch training, touching the ball and showing positive feeling. Enzo Maresca expects Palmer to be available soon but does not anticipate him facing Arsenal. Teenager Estêvão is pressing for inclusion and is encouraged to focus on personal development and consistent improvement.
