At 3:00 am on September 14, in the 4th round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Chelsea will play away against Brentford. Before the game, Blues coach Maresca attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About the team's injury situation

-Palmer participated in the training class for the first time yesterday, but did not complete all the training. We have another training this afternoon, and we will see if his situation is OK. If not, he will not be able to play tomorrow.

Let's talk about Palmer

--He is recovering from injury now, it's not about managing his load. When he can play, we need to manage his load because there are so many games.

Regarding Drapp's injury

- he will be out for about 10 to 12 weeks.

About Rees James for England

- When any player goes to the national team, his playing time depends on the national team head coach, not me. When Reese James is at the club, we will do our best to manage his load, and he is showing that he can play two or three games a week.

About Colville's list of Champions League

- It depends on our position in the Champions League, Colville has an ACL injury, so the recovery time is not one or two months, but six months, seven months or eight months. He will definitely be back, we are not worried.

About Jackson's departure

- In my opinion, this is easy to understand, Jackson is now a Bayern player. I sent him a message and wish him all the best. He was doing well while he was here, so I wish him all the best.

About Garnacho

—He did a good job, of course, he needed to work hard because he was not at 100% physical condition when he came here. He needs to work hard, and now he is doing well, we will take a look and hopefully give him playing time.

Regarding the challenge against Brentford

- I always thought it was a difficult game, both last year's match. The Premier League is the best league in the world because it is always tough to play against any club and we are looking forward to the same situation tomorrow.

About the start of the season

- Perhaps in terms of players, I think we always have something to improve. In most cases, players' progress can improve the team's strength. On the team side, we started adding more solutions in terms of structure and vitality, and I think we can still have a few more ways.

About Kukurelia's progress

—No doubt, everything is always about the players. I think we've said it a lot, Cucurella, Enzo, Kesedo, and even Colville, when I came to this club, the situation was slightly different from today. They desire to improve and learn, we provide them with tools, but ultimately they are themselves.

About Enzo's progress

- When you come here from another country, you need to adapt. Of course, I think Enzo is a good player. He was confused at the beginning of last season about what we expected of him, but when he understood that, he was much better. I think Enzo is an attacking midfielder and hopefully he can keep that way.

About the transfer window

- I think our roster is great, and at a press conference a year ago, I said that I like this team very much, so our roster is already very good. We've tried to make some tweaks since then, but overall, I think this team has been excellent.

About the forwards' selection

-the only No. 9 position is Giu, and Joao Pedro can also play in this position. We let George play No. 9 against Fulham, so we can consider him as well.

About 74 charges

- I learned from the club that they were very satisfied with the whole process. Personally, I have nothing to add. To be honest, I have no idea. I want to focus on the court, which is something I can control.

About the current status of South American players in the team

- Three Brazilian players came back yesterday, but did not train. Kesedo arrived last night – I didn’t see him, I’ll see him today. For all of them, it is a question whether to play tomorrow. The match in Bolivia is tough and I hope they can return soon. Are

players distracted by 74 charges?

- I don't think the players are too worried about this.

About signing Bonanot

- Bonanot is a good player who previously played for Leicester City, where I have some connections. He can help us, we have a lot of games, so he will get playing time.
