Chelsea centre back Trevoh Chalobah will be out of action for at least a week after picking up an injury during the weekend's 2-1 Premier League loss at Aston Villa, manager Enzo Maresca said on Monday.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca says the team's over-reliance on Cole Palmer is affecting his form as the England star goes through his driest run since moving to the London club.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca has a 100% chance of keeping his job for the rest of the season, despite the Blues' recent stretch of mediocrity, director Jonathan Goldstein said.
