Enzo Maresca has revealed that Cole Palmer is a Chelsea injury doubt to feature in Premier League action against Wolves on Monday evening.

The Blues talisman missed Friday's training session and his availability to feature at Stamford Bridge is therefore in doubt. "Cole is a doubt, he was not in the session today," the Chelsea boss said when delivering the latest team news news. "Levi [Colwill] was not in the session, Romeo [Lavia] and Enzo [Fernandez] were not involved.

"Cole didn't train today, we don't know if he will train in the two days." On finding ways to win without Palmer, he added: "We rely on Cole because he's a big player. We prefer to play with Cole but in case he has an injury or a problem, then we will find a solution."

Palmer required treatment in the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth after falling awkwardly in a challenge, but he was able to continue. Thankfully, as the last match of gameweek 22, Palmer has the weekend to potentially recover. Based on the latest injury news, Maresca could be forced into several changes to his starting XI.

Joao Felix is capable of filling in for Palmer if needed while Renato Veiga, despite exit links, may have to partner Moises Caicedo in midfield if neither Fernandez or Lavia can make the clash.

The absence of Colwill, in addition to Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana would be a particularly big blow but Trevoh Chalobah is back available for the Blues having been recalled from his Crystal Palace loan and he could partner another Cobham academy graduate in Josh Acheampong.

One player expected to be available is Reece James with the club captain coming off the bench to salvage a point for the Blues last time out. A start for the England international however, could still be some way off.

"For Reece, it's not about if he scores goals, or how many minutes; it's about to manage his situation," Maresca admitted. "For sure, if he plays 45 minutes it means he can be ready. But we don't want an injury again. We are trying to help him and we will do the same in this moment."
