Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca has reportedly confirmed that Estevao Willian and Liam Delap are fit for the Blues’ Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Delap has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury he picked up during Chelsea’s 0-0 draw at Bournemouth on December 6.
Owing to a muscle issue, Estêvão missed Chelsea’s previous two games, but Maresca stated on Wednesday that the two would be ready to take on Villa at Stamford Bridge.

“We didn’t know exactly for how long he [Delap] needs to be out, but he’s available for Saturday, he’s available also Estêvão, so very happy for both,” Maresca said as quoted by the ESPN.
Cole Palmer, who is trying to get over a persistent groin issue, may now play an entire game, according to Maresca.
“I think he’s ready for 90 minutes,” Maresca said.
“The progression for a player is 45, one hour, 70. He already played one hour against Everton. He played more than 70 against Newcastle. I think the progression is there.”
