Enzo Maresca has confirmed Cole Palmer is ready to play in Chelsea's Premier League clash with Arsenal, and it has brightened the mood in the team.

Having Palmer available would be a huge boost, and The Guardian have reported Chelsea are hopeful he’ll hand them a boost by declaring himself fit. Palmer has made just four appearances in all competitions, and having him back in the match day squad would provide a major boost.

The 23-year-old had his highly sought-after ‘Ice Cold’ Match Attax card immortalised in a specially made two-metre ice structure before the European blockbuster clash

Maresca was unable to provide a firm date on Palmer’s return. There is no chance of the 23-year-old figuring against Barcelona and the Italian boss ruled out this weekend’s almighty clash with Arsenal, although he warned that his return to full, first-team training “for sure it will be soon.”
