Enzo Maresca has insisted he’s not complaining about Chelsea’s injuries and stated he’s trying to find solutions to the mounting problems.
Chelsea welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon as they look to return to winning ways in the Premier League.
The Blues have taken just one point from their last two league games, and will be desperate to not lose further ground on the teams above at this early stage.
Enzo Maresca insists he’s not complaining about injuries
Chelsea are facing somewhat of a mounting injury crisis ahead of the game against Brighton with a number of players missing.
Maresca confirmed Cole Palmer is out until after the international break due to an ongoing groin issue, meaning he will miss the games against Brighton, Benfica in the Champions League and the visit of Liverpool next weekend.

The Blues are also facing major problems at centre back, and Maresca confirmed both Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana will also miss the next three games.
Tosin is out with a calf injury, whilst Fofana suffered a concussion against Lincoln and must now follow the protocol.
Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile could return against the Seagulls, but Maresca has insisted he’s not complaining about the injury issues.
“I’m not complaining, it’s reality, we have injuries,” he said as quoted by journalist Kieran Gill.
“We are trying to find solutions. I don’t think if you are a wealthy club or you spend big that you can manage injuries. It doesn’t matter. It’s a problem for everyone.”
Chelsea face huge game against Brighton
It might only be the sixth game of the season, but it feels like there’s already a lot riding on the game against Brighton.
