The head coach of London's Chelsea club, Enzo Maresca, commented on the criticism directed at him and the management of Cole Palmer:

"Criticism is something that unfortunately I cannot control. Someone does not fully believe in me.

After the match against Arsenal, everyone thought we could fight for the title. After a week, everyone is complaining. This is football, and we face it."

"At this stage, C. Palmer cannot start all the matches in the starting lineup.

The Englishman had training sessions with us, overall he felt good, but still felt pain in his groin. This is something we need to address.

I hope all these pains do not last the entire season."

23-year-old Cole Palmer has scored 2 goals in several matches this season.

London's Chelsea club shares the 5-6 places in the English championship with 25 points.
