Enzo Maresca has revealed that Cole Palmer may still miss Chelsea's London derby against Brentford, despite recently returning to training.

Palmer has missed the Blues' last two matches with a groin problem. The 23-year-old limped out of the warm-up prior to the win away at West Ham United and was subsequently unavailable for selection when Thomas Tuchel chose his England squad for the recent international break.

Up until now, we had been kept out of the loop regarding Palmer other than an image being released of the attacker during a training session.

But Maresca has today given an update on the Chelsea attacker in his pre-Brentford press conference. The Blues head coach said: "Cole took part in the session yesterday for the first time, not the entire session.

"We have one more session this afternoon and we are going to try with him to see if he's okay, otherwise he will be out tomorrow."

Maresca continued: "He is recovering from an injury, it's not managing him, it's recovering from an injury. When he is available, we need to manage him because of the amount of games."

This is a developing news story that will be updated with relevant information as we get it. More to follow...
