This season, Cole Palmer continues to be the leader of Chelsea. Up to now, he has scored 14 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League. However, Palmer has not scored in the last 5 matches. That caused Chelsea to lose matches continuously and fall to 7th place in the rankings.
Because Cole Palmer is no longer on the rise, many people are concerned that he is overloaded and has physical problems. However, in the latest interview, coach Enzo Maresca revealed another truth, according to Metro: "I will reveal an important information. Every six or seven months, we will take a physical test. Last week, we took a test and Palmer was the strongest.
He won against his Chelsea teammates. Therefore, he certainly not only has a desire to play football, but is also working hard and doing well. I am impressed with that.
Palmer is still healthy, but he is lacking a compatible partner in attack. Since Nicolas Jackson was injured, the remaining stars such as Nkunku, Neto and Sancho have all been disappointing.
Enzo Maresca admitted Chelsea are too dependent on Palmer. He also hopes the Blues can be stronger: Every match, people expect him to score and assist. Everyone depends on Cole, considering him the solution. But the solution always lies in the team.
