Enzo Maresca has acknowledged that Chelsea has become overly reliant on forward Cole Palmer, whose form has dipped as the team struggles to find consistency. After just two wins in their last ten matches, Chelsea has fallen to seventh place in the Premier League. Palmer has not scored or assisted in his last six games, coinciding with the absence of striker Nicolas Jackson. While Maresca downplayed concerns over Palmer's performance, he reiterated the need for the team's collective efforts instead of depending heavily on individuals.
"The problem with Cole is, we rely on Cole for everything. We've said since we started, we need to rely on the team."
"I'm not concerned about Cole because Cole is a human being and during the season he can have some moments where he struggles a little bit more."
