Enzo Maresca has played down fears that Cole Palmer is ill and confirmed the playmaker is fit for Chelsea ’s Club World Cup opener against LAFC. Palmer had sparked fears he was under the weather when he was photographed disembarking Chelsea’s flight to the US last week wearing a face mask.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca says his team are "here to win" ahead of their first match at the Club World Cup. The Blues take on Los Angeles FC in Atlanta on Monday, and are one of two Premier League teams taking part in the tournament alongside Manchester City.
