Enzo Maresca has sent a rallying message to his Chelsea squad as they look to end a poor run of form heading into the final months of the season.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca says the team's over-reliance on Cole Palmer is affecting his form as the England star goes through his driest run since moving to the London club.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca has a 100% chance of keeping his job for the rest of the season, despite the Blues' recent stretch of mediocrity, director Jonathan Goldstein said.

Enzo Maresca believes Chelsea are over-reliant on Cole Palmer and rejected criticism of the midfielder's body language in recent games.

Enzo Maresca says Chelsea do not need Champions League football to convince Cole Palmer of his future at the club - but admits missing out on the top four could impact their summer transfer business.
