Liam Rosenior has admitted he loves watching Cole Palmer play and hopes the England international can now stay fit.
Chelsea made it four league wins in a row with a 3-1 win away at Wolves on Saturday afternoon, and remain just a point behind fourth placed Manchester United.
Cole Palmer scored a first half hat-trick in his best performance since returning from injury against Leeds back in December.
Liam Rosenior loves watching Cole Palmer
The 23-year-old has struggled with a groin injury this season, and missed virtually the entire first half of the season.
Palmer opened up on his fitness struggles after the game, and it’s clear to see he’s still not fully fit, with his minutes being carefully managed.

One of Rosenior’s biggest tasks is getting Palmer back to his best, and he revealed after the Wolves win he loves watching the attacker play.
“When Cole is fully fit, full firing, feeling good, he’s a magnificent footballer,” he told Chelsea’s website.
“When you’re at a club like this club, with its huge demands and scrutiny, which I’m starting to learn myself you have to block out the noise and remember what a good player you are.
“I love working with him, he loves being here, and hopefully he can really enjoy his football between now and the end of the season, because it will help us on the pitch.”
Joao Pedro continues his impressive form
Whilst Palmer stole the headlines with his hat-trick, Joao Pedro put in another impressive performance as his good form continues.
