Chelsea conducted a six-month physical test with their players last week which was won by Cole Palmer out of everyone else in the squad, but Enzo Maresca says it is unfair on the 22-year-old to think he is the ‘solution’ to their problems.
The Blues held the examinations at their training ground to gauge their squad’s levels compared to pre-season.
Though Palmer has not scored in the Premier League since January 14 or assisted since December 1, his manager is not concerned that he is lacking desire after being quizzed on the negative body language he has been showing amid their run of two wins in their last 10 games.
