Maresca: Kesedo just resumes training; Palmer/Rodri and others are injured

Hupu, August 30, Chelsea coach Maresca attended the pre-match press conference against Fulham. The following is the non-live part.

When asked about the reason for Palmer's absence, Maresca said:

"I think the three players we played most last year were Levi (Korwell), Cole and Moy (Kecedo), which was not accidental.

Levi was injured and Cole was injured, and Moy only had his first training session today after the game against West Ham.

This is not accidental, but a question of the number of games. See Looking at Manchester City last year, they lost Rodri after two or three games. He is the player with the most playing time in Manchester City.

We will definitely have trouble this season due to various reasons last season. But the key is how we adapt and help players recover. '

English defender Colewell started 35 of Chelsea's 38 league games last season, but is expected to miss most of the season due to knee surgery.

At the same time, whether Kesedo can compete in the away game against Fulham is still doubtful. He is the only player in Chelsea who started every league last season.

Palmer quits last week's away win over West Ham United due to a warm-up injury, but nearly attended last season.

Maresca added: "I said it's much better to have Cole on the court than it was without him. But if he has problems, we need to give him enough time to recover.

Estewan (William) is not important when he is not on the court, we can't tell Cole to relax, we need him to recover 100%. "

Maresca's complaint happened in the context of the Global Players' Union International Professional Football Players' Federation (FIFPRO) filed a legal lawsuit against the world football governing body FIFA.
