Enzo Maresca named an attacking Chelsea side to face West Ham in their second game of the Premier League season, after a drab 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace in the opening weekend, but there was concern among the visiting fans as Cole Palmer left the warm-up early and did not play.

The England international dropped out in the warm-up, meaning Brazilian sensation Estevao Willian started in his place for Chelsea. Chelsea boss Maresca was asked about Palmer’s injury in his post-match press conference, with the Stamford Bridge coach admitting the creative midfielder had been struggling with a groin complaint.
