Enzo Maresca hints at positive news as injured Chelsea star could return to face Wolves

**Enzo Maresca has been dealt a bad hand when it comes to injuries this season at Chelsea, however has delivered some positive news in his pre-match press conference before facing Wolves.**

A heavily-rotated side that faced Qarabag in the Champions League saw the likes of Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill remain on the sidelines due to injury problems.

The Italian handed starts to Estevao Willian and Jamie Gittens out wide, and we are expecting Estevao to start against Wolves after his brilliant form in front of goal.

The absence of Pedro Neto from the squad in Azerbaijan helped make Maresca’s decision easier, and the Portugal international was a big miss as the boss looked to his bench to save a result.

Neto will be relishing the chance to get involved against his former side, and Maresca told Football London that he is set to train with the Blues the day before the game, and could be fit to face Wolves.

> He said: “Pedro had a session with the physio yesterday on the pitch, it was good. Today he will train with us and we will make the final decision.”

>

> The winger has two goals and two assists to his name in the Premier League this season, and is a major plus to Maresca due to his versatility.

>

> Despite mostly playing on the right this season, he is very strong on the left wing, and would allow a pairing of Neto and Estevao which most believe would be Chelsea’s most successful at this time.

>

> Alejandro Garnacho will have something to say about that after he has started to show signs of the player Chelsea hoped they would sign. He has two goals in his last three appearances for the Blues.
