Palmer’s most recent appearance was during Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat at Manchester United on 20 September.<\/p>\n

The Blues have played 11 games in all competitions since then – winning eight and losing two – and sit third in the Premier League table.<\/p>\n

“I think that his team-mates are better players with Cole playing,” added Maresca. “I feel much better when Cole is on the pitch, and we all want Cole on the pitch.<\/p>\n

“At the same time, when Cole is not on the pitch, we need to find a solution. The team is doing very well but we are better with Cole. He was almost back with us.”<\/p>\n

Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto and Benoit Badiashile are all available for the trip to Turf Moor.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi in their so-called ‘bomb squad’ and Maresca confirmed nothing has changed with the pair, despite the defender’s involvement with the Under-21s and first-team training during the international break.<\/p>\n

“Axel and Raheem are Chelsea players,” he said. “Axel is helping the second team, he’s helping the younger players.<\/p>\n

“During the international break we had just five, six players here, so we needed some second-team players. Axel was part of some sessions with second-team players, but I think it was just one session with us.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
