Chelsea are about to host Tottenham in the 30th round of the Premier League, and coach Enzo Maresca has revealed that Cole Palmer, Noni Maduek and Nicolae Jacson have returned from injury.
All three players have recovered from injuries and have been in time for the game against Tottenham. This game is very important for Chelsea as they are fighting for a Champions League spot. Chelsea currently has 49 points and is ranked fifth, two points behind Manchester City in fourth place.
At the pre-match press conference, reporters asked whether Maduc, Palmer and Jaxon would be able to start in the game, and Maresca confidently answered yes. As for whether they could play the entire game, Maresca said no.
Maresca said: "Nicolas and Noni are not in good condition because they have been out for two months. As for Cole, it depends on the situation. If necessary, he can play the whole game."
In addition, the reporter talked about the status of Chelsea captain Reece James and whether he would play. James missed several games earlier due to a hamstring injury. However, James has performed well in international competitions recently, and even scored his first goal for the England national team in the match against Latvia.
Although James is in good shape, the team will carefully manage his physical condition. Maresca said: "Our plan is to keep him healthy as much as possible, rather than letting him play every three days, because we hope to keep him healthy at least until the end of the season, and then see if we can return to the rhythm of one game every three days."
"Our medical team checks in with him every day to see how he is doing, to see if he is fit to train and in good condition. In recent weeks he has been able to train every day and is in good condition, so we are happy with that."
