Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca will likely be faced with questions about the return of Cole Palmer ahead of Burnley.

Reports suggest that he may hold his star attacker back from the Saturday lunchtime clash with Barcelona and Arsenal to come next week.

There is also concern about Moises Caicedo's availability given he played two lots of 90 minutes for Ecuador in friendly matches.

Maresca will likely also be asked to clarify whether 'bomb squad' member Axel Disasi has been promoted back into the main squad, with fellow defender Benoit Badiashile also expected back.
