Cole Palmer remains an injury doubt ahead of Chelsea's Premier League return against Brentford this weekend. The English forward's status remains unknown. With the Blues looking to maintain momentum after wins against West Ham and Fulham, the absence of their brightest spark is a headache Enzo Maresca could do without.
Oleksandr Usyk is set to play alongside John Terry, Michael Owen, Kaka & Roberto Carlos as the world heavyweight boxing champion has signed up for a Legends Charity Game against Portugal.

Former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has seen his latest attempt to overturn European Union sanctions on him fall flat. The Russian-Israeli oligarch failed in his bid at the bloc’s highest court to lift restrictions first slapped on him in 2022 following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Fulham aimed a tongue-in-cheek dig at Premier League officials as the "cruelly" disallowed Josh King strike against Chelsea won the club's goal of the month award vote for August. The teenager’s dazzling finish may not have counted on the scoreboard, but fans made sure it lived on in memory, handing him an overwhelming 83 per cent of the vote.
Chelsea have been charged with 74 alleged breaches of FA regulations dating back to Roman Abramovich’s ownership, raising questions about what punishment the club could face. However, despite the severity of the charges, reports suggest the Blues are bracing for a financial sanction rather than a sporting one, with an outcome likely to mirror their £8m fine from UEFA.
Chelsea star Cole Palmer could make his return from a groin injury this weekend, with Enzo Maresca confirming the midfielder will undergo a late fitness test before Saturday’s trip to Brentford.

Enzo Maresca has admitted that he has 'not seen' Chelsea outcast Raheem Sterling since the start of the 2025-26 campaign.

Enzo Maresca hit back at the claim that Chelsea were distracted by their Champions League commitments after Brentford's late comeback in their Premier League clash on Saturday.

Chelsea's newest signing, Emanuel Emegha, was left "devastated" at the weekend as Strasbourg fans appeared to turn on the striker after his switch to Stamford Bridge was confirmed.
