Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior confirmed that two of his players, Cole Palmer and Estevao Willian, have recovered and are ready to play for the Blues against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 2025/2026 Premier League match at Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton, Saturday (7/2).
"Yes, both Cole Palmer and Estevao Willian have recovered and are ready to play for 90 minutes," said Rosenior, as quoted from Chelsea's official website.
Palmer was rested for the second leg of the EFL Cup semifinal on Wednesday (February 4th) to manage the English attacking midfielder's fitness. Palmer had actually played in Chelsea's 3-2 win over West Ham United on Sunday (February 1st).
Meanwhile, Estevao was sidelined for quite some time, considering that he last appeared as a substitute in a Champions League match against Pafos on January 22, 2026. Specifically, Rosenior said Estevao was facing personal problems that forced him to return to Brazil and had to miss the last four matches.
