Enzo Maresca press conference LIVE: Chelsea boss on Cole Palmer fitness, injury news, Burnley

Hello and welcome to **football.london** for live coverage of Enzo Maresca's pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea's Premier League clash with Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

The final international break of 2025 is now behind us and the Blues return to action this weekend. A long trip to Turf Moor awaits Chelsea, who could climb up to as high as second place in the top-flight table with three points.

Chelsea will be hoping for some key players to be fit for the visit to Lancashire. Benoit Badiashile could return to the squad after a month-and-a-half on the sidelines, while Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez both limped off in the win against Wolves prior to the break.

We should hear more on the condition of Cole Palmer, with Maresca stating earlier this month that the 23-year-old could return to action for next week's Champions League showdown with Barcelona. Maresca is due to face the media at 9:30am (UK time), so stay tuned for live updates from Cobham.
