Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Liam Delap and Estevao are ready to feature in the English League match when Chelsea host Aston Villa on Sunday, December 28, 2025, early morning WIB.
Delap has been out with a shoulder problem since December 6, 2025, which he suffered when Chelsea drew 0-0 against Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Estevao has been absent in Chelsea's last two matches due to a muscle problem.
However, Maresca said on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, local time, that the two would be ready to face Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.
"We don't know exactly how long he (Delap) will be out, but he's ready for the weekend game. Estevao is also ready, so we're very happy for both of them," said Maresca.
Maresca also revealed that Cole Palmer is now able to play a full game after recovering from a nagging groin problem.
"I think he (Palmer) is ready to play for 90 minutes. The development of a player is 45 minutes, one hour, 70 minutes. He has played one hour against Everton."
"He played more than 70 minutes against Newcastle United. I think his progress is visible," said Maresca.
