🚨 Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer's fitness:

"Cole is getting better, but because he can walk and have dinner doesn’t mean he is completely fit. "

"He is getting better and we still have two days to prepare for the game. Hopefully, we can have him for a session - at least on Saturday - and then we take a decision."

🔵🎙Pedro Neto:

"We wanted to win, but we knew we had hard work in front of us because they are a good team. We came to win, so we're not as happy as we wanted to be, but we didn't want to lose and it's a good point against a good team."

"We read the game well. We had moments we could have been better but we've done a good job and we want to keep improving at this level."

Bukayo Saka did not dribble past Marc Cucurella at all during the 81 minutes he was on the pitch against the Spaniard. Cucurella won all his duels (100%) against Bukayo Saka. 🔒⛔️

𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: Chelsea Fitness Coach Will Tullett has been appointed Director of Fitness at the Saudi Pro League after 21 years with the Blues.

There is already a strong Chelsea influence within the SP. Michael Emenalo, who was Technical Director at Stamford Bridge from 2007 to 2017, is now the League’s Director of Football.

Tim Harkness, who was the Blues’ Head Of Sports Science and Psychology from 2009 to 2023, was appointed as the SPL’s Head of Sporting Affairs in January.

🗣️ Writing on LinkedIn, Tullett said:

“After 21 years, I made the decision to move on from Chelsea to a new challenge and adventure both personally and professionally.

“I feel incredibly lucky to be able to make this decision independently to bring my time with the club to an end. As I reflect, what a time it has been! To work across medical, physical and coaching groups at every level from Under-8 to Men’s First Team has been a joy.

“Within this time to be up close and personal to see team success in nearly every youth and subsequently senior trophy possible is an honour and to perhaps have played some small part fills me with a lot of pride. But the time to move was right.

“I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Director of Fitness at the Saudi Pro League. An exciting challenge that I can’t wait to experience.”
