Palmer, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City, has been a key player for the team, often serving as a savior in crucial matches.

However, his recent struggles have raised concerns, with Maresca admitting that the team’s reliance on him is a problem.

What Maresca said

Maresca emphasised that Palmer is human and can have off days, but the team’s overall performance also reflects their struggles to score goals.

When asked about Palmer’s form, Maresca replied, “The problem is with Cole, we rely on Cole for everything. We need to rely on the team. For sure, we need big players, top players like Cole, but we are not worried about Cole at all.”

To bring Palmer back into form, Maresca plans to continue working with him in the same way, focusing on improving the team’s overall clinical finishing.

Chelsea’s next match is against Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, and Palmer is expected to start as the Blues seek to arrest their slide down the Premier League table.

The match will be a big test for Chelsea, who began the winter in a title battle with Liverpool but have since struggled to maintain their form. With Palmer’s dip in form exposing the team’s reliance on him, Maresca will be looking to his other players to step up and support their star man.
