Uncover the mystery! Cole Palmer failed to be the real reason for Chelsea s start against West Ham

has revealed why Cole Palmer failed to be the starter when Chelsea visited West Ham's home court. Enzo Marega replaced the main player as a precautionary measure just minutes before the game began.

Palmer has actually announced that he will be on the list of starters playing at the London Stadium. However, he left the venue with a Chelsea medical staff while warming up.

The position was then replaced by young player Estevao, who eventually made his debut in the Premier League. Interestingly, in Palmer's absence, Chelsea was actually very active and won 5-1.

Despite Chelsea's successful goal celebration, Palmer's sudden absence remains the main focus. Here is the complete explanation of the head coach and the opinions of football experts.

Official explanation Enzo Maresca

Chelsea manager Enzo Maressa finally expressed his opinion on the sudden withdrawal of Cole Palmer from the starting lineup. He stressed that the decision was purely for preventive measures.

Through reports from Sky Sports reporter David Craig, Palmer "feels something" while warming up. This makes the coaching staff reluctant to take any risks and worry about the physical condition of the players.

Maresca herself refused to explain further the problems her star had. However, she quickly ruled out the possibility of Palmer getting sick or having a fever.

"In the thigh area. He didn't reach 100% form against Crystal Palace, but he did his best for the club, the fans and the team. He worked hard tonight, but the results were not very good," Maresca explained.

"Cole hasn't had 100% in the last four or five days. He tried warming up, but he felt some problems. We chose not to take risks. We just saw if it was serious. " he added.

Estevao's debut debut

Estevao did not expect that Cole Palmer would be a special gift for him. The 18-year-old Brazilian genius has received a great opportunity to show off his abilities.

He was immediately appointed to replace Palmer's starting position. This moment also marks his first appearance in the Premier League as a starter.

Estevao himself actually felt the atmosphere of competition the week before. He played as a substitute in Chelsea’s match against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.

In that game, he replaced Jamie Gittern in the 54th minute. His performance was considered quite promising and successfully brought new colors to the Blues' offense.

Chelsea won the game against West Ham by a huge 5-1 score. With Lucas Paqueta's goal behind, the Blues reversed the game with goals from Joao Pedro, Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Kessedo and Charoba.
