Chelsea will face Wolverhampton on January 20 in the 22nd round of the English Premier League, but the Blues head into the match under significant pressure.
With a five-game winless streak in the league, Maresca’s side desperately needs a win to reignite their faltering campaign.
However, their preparations have been hampered by injury concerns. Four key players—Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Romeo Lavia, and Levi Colwill—missed training due to health issues, casting doubt on their availability for the upcoming match.
The potential absence of Palmer, in particular, would be a significant blow. The attacking midfielder has been Chelsea’s standout performer this season, contributing 14 goals and 6 assists in 21 games. If ruled out, it will be the first league match Palmer will miss this season, leaving a considerable gap in Chelsea’s creative and attacking play.
Although Wolverhampton are seen as underdogs, Chelsea cannot take anything for granted given their current form and the squad’s injury woes. The Blues will need to dig deep to secure a much-needed victory at Stamford Bridge.
