Enzo Maresca, the head coach of Chelsea, has expressed confidence in Cole Palmer’s ability to navigate through his current goal drought. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder, who has been a pivotal figure for Chelsea since joining from Manchester City in 2023, has not scored in his last eight games across all competitions. Despite this dry spell, Maresca remains unfazed, emphasizing Palmer’s resilience and positive attitude.
Maresca highlighted that Palmer’s contributions to the team extend beyond scoring goals. He praised the young player’s work ethic, noting that Palmer continues to perform well in training and remains a key figure on the pitch. According to Maresca, such phases are a natural part of a player’s journey, and he is confident that Palmer will soon rediscover his scoring touch.
The Chelsea manager also pointed out that Palmer’s recent performances have not gone unnoticed. Even during this challenging period, Palmer has been creating opportunities and maintaining his presence in crucial moments of the game. Maresca believes that the team’s reliance on Palmer underscores his importance, but he also stressed the need for collective effort to support the young star.
Palmer’s determination and commitment have been evident in his daily efforts at Cobham, Chelsea’s training ground. Maresca revealed that Palmer has been putting in extra work, particularly in physical training, which has yielded impressive results. This dedication, coupled with his natural talent, positions Palmer as a player who can overcome temporary setbacks and continue to shine for Chelsea.
Maresca’s unwavering support for Palmer reflects his understanding of the pressures faced by young players in top-flight football. By fostering a supportive environment, Maresca aims to ensure that Palmer remains focused and confident as he works to regain his form. With the backing of his coach and teammates, Palmer is poised to emerge stronger and more determined in the matches ahead.
