Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed Today, September 19, 2025, that star player Cole Palmer is fit to face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Speaking before the team’s final training session, Maresca noted that the squad’s condition needs evaluation due to a quick turnaround from a midweek Champions League loss to Bayern Munich.
“Cole is fine,” he said. “We’ll check the others today after training.”
Tight Schedule Challenges
The Blues returned from Munich on Thursday, leaving little recovery time before the Premier League clash. Maresca highlighted the strain of travel and recent defeat, saying some players are doubtful for the weekend.
“We haven’t trained since Wednesday’s game, so we’ll assess everyone today to finalize the lineup,” he explained.

Marc Guiu’s Return Boosts Options
One potential addition to the squad is Marc Guiu, recalled early from a loan at Sunderland this month due to an injury to Liam Delap.
Maresca praised the young Spaniard’s potential, stating, “Marc is back because we plan to use him. He’s a strong player with room to grow, but we know what he can bring in attack.” Guiu could provide a fresh option in the final third.
Key Match Ahead
Facing Manchester United, Chelsea seeks to regain momentum in a crucial Premier League encounter. Maresca’s focus on squad fitness and Guiu’s inclusion signals a strategic approach to a tough away fixture.
The outcome at Old Trafford could set the tone for Chelsea’s season as they navigate a demanding schedule.
