Enzo Maresca rejected the concerns about Cole Palmer’s form and said that he had dug Chelsea from his current fall on other players.
Maresca’s side slipped on the seventh in the Premier League after three defeats in the last four games, the last of which came to Aston Villa on Saturday on Saturday.
Palmer was a creative force for Chelsea this season with 14 goals and six assists in 26 appearances, but did not score in five trips with his decline in the mirroring of his team.

Chelsea plays host rock-day Southampton tomorrow night, offering both the club and the player the opportunity to return to the track.
Asked today about the English playmaker, Maresca said, “I’m always worried about a general appearance. I’m not worried about Cole because Cole is a human being and he can have a few moments during the season in which he struggles a little more.
“The problem with Cole is that we rely on Cole for everything and I said since we started we have to rely on that. We need top -notch players like Cole, but we don’t even care about him.”
We need to be more clinical – maoresca
Asked what Palmer must do to return to himself, the Italian added: “He should continue the way he works. The other day he had a great chance, but overall from him – as I said, every game we expect aim or help from him, so that is that hard.
“He is a human being. At this point, his performances are probably reflected in team appearances that we fight for goals to score, so we have to be a little more clinically when we get a chance.”
The paper plays with the Saints is perfect for Chelsea, but Mareca is careful about Ivan Juric, despite the fact that they have only requested nine points throughout the season.
He said, “I don’t believe these games, I can be tiny games. If you watch the match against Manchester United, they won 1-0 to the last five minutes. It’s ticklish and from now on, every match, every team plays for something, so it will Everyone is difficult.
“It is our duty to prepare every game for winning. From now on we have 12 games and no doubt is that all 12 must win for us. “
Jorgensen still number one
Maresca will stick to Philip Jorgensen in the goal, despite his expensive mistake in Villa Park, but he will be without the defender of Trevoh Chalobah, who left after only eight minutes.
“He had a check yesterday and will be about a week to 10 days,” Maresca from Chalobah said.
“On the one hand, it’s good because it’s not an injury, but on the other it is a shame because at this point we are losing another player with the amount of injuries we had.”
Chelsea is left without a recognized center, and Nicolas Jackson and Marc Gui injured.
