Cole Palmer is set to start Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth this weekend after missing the international break with England. Palmer was initially called up by Lee Carsley for England’s Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland. However, the 22-year-old quickly withdrew from the squad with the Football Association confirming that the midfielder and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins had returned to their clubs ‘to continue their rehabilitation from ongoing issues’. But Palmer appears to have overcome his injury concerns during the international break with Chelsea confirming that he has taken part in full training this week. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #colepalmer #astonvilla #football #transferwindow

Enzo Maresca says Jadon Sancho has produced exactly what he expected from him so far in Chelsea training, but it is Noni Madueke who he feels is the club’s most dangerous winger right now. Sancho completed his somewhat unexpected loan move from Manchester United to Stamford Bridge before the transfer deadline but is yet to make his debut for the Blues. He looked to impress his new boss, Maresca, during the international break, and it seems like he managed that, with the Italian speaking highly of the England international. ‘He has been exactly what I expected,’ Maresca told club media. ‘He’s a very good player, a one-v-one player with quality in the last third. I’m sure he’s going to help us. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #enzomaresca #sancho #manchesterunited #transferwindow #football #premierleague

Graeme Souness has warned Chelsea’s owners their transfer strategy is ‘creating a monster’ with the decision to replace Raheem Sterling with Jadon Sancho another example of their questionable approach. Having publicly deemed Sterling surplus to requirements, Arsenal pounced on transfer deadline day to sign the experienced England international on loan until the end of the season. Subsequent reports claim the Gunners are paying less than a third of the 29-year-old’s salary, which means the Blues are effectively paying around £10million to let Sterling represent one of their main rivals until June. Souness fears that decision represents a grave error, with Enzo Maresca’s chances of succeeding only further undermined by the signing of Jadon Sancho who has struggled to adapt to the Premier League since his move to Manchester United three years ago. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #arsenal #mikelarteta #premierleague #enzomaresca #souness #football

Ben Chilwell is still ‘more than happy’ to play for Chelsea despite being banished from the first-team by Enzo Maresca. The left-back was one of over a dozen players, known as the ‘bomb-squad’, exiled by the new manager over the summer and told they had no future at the club. But while the likes of Raheem Sterling, Conor Gallagher and Romelu Lukaku were able to secure a transfer away, Chilwell is still at Stamford Bridge. There was never any serious interest in the England international thanks to his high wages, said to be £ 200,000 a week, and his injury history. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #enzomaresca #romelulukaku #transferwindow #benchilwell #football

Manchester United and Chelsea have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Jonathan Tah, with the Bayer Leverkusen defender keen to secure a transfer move to the Premier League. Tah, 28, has just one year remaining on his current contract at Leverkusen and has no intention of extending his stay with the German champions beyond the end of the 2024/25 campaign. The sought-after centre-back repeatedly knocked back Leverkusen’s attempts to place him on a new deal this summer and made no secret of his desire for a fresh challenge while speaking to the media ahead of Germany’s 5-0 victory over Hungary last weekend. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #tah #bayerleverkusen #transferwindow #football #premierleague

Victor Osimhen has delivered a jaw-dropping blow to Chelsea and Napoli fans alike by securing a surprise season-long loan move to Galatasaray. After his Chelsea deal fell through, the 25-year-old striker has opted for the Turkish giants, with Napoli agreeing to a full salary coverage of €11m. #football #fifa #victor #osimhen #victorosimhen #viral #trending #galatasaray #reelsinstagram #trend #footballfanarena #footballfansarena2024 #ffa

One of Chelsea’s summer signings has confirmed he has suffered a major injury blow and is set to be sidelined for the next two months. Omari Kellyman moved from Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge for £19million in June, becoming Enzo Maresca’s third signing for the club. The 18-year-old is yet to appear in a matchday squad for the first-team but he has made three appearances for Chelsea’s U21 side and is viewed as a very important player for the future. However, it will be a while before he makes his senior debut for the Blues after the attacking midfielder announced some bad news on social media on Sunday: #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #enzomaresca #astonvilla #football

Frank Lampard fears Chelsea’s youthful squad could hold them back under new boss Enzo Maresca after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Blues were at their scintillating best in a 6-0 win over Wolves last weekend but were brought back down to earth in midweek after a 2-1 loss to Servette in the Europa Conference League. Another inconsistent display followed at Stamford Bridge on Sunday as Maresca’s side surged ahead through Nicolas Jackson but were pinned back and forced to settle for a point after Eberechi Eze’s second-half strike. With a new manager and plenty of fresh signings still to blood into the team, Lampard urged caution from fans, insisting those factors and the squad’s youthful make-up will lead to inconsistent performances. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #franklampard #enzomaresca #crystalpalace #football #transferwindow
