Maresca addressed the injury to Cole Palmer, who will be sidelined for two to three weeks to allow him to recover from his injury and avoid further exacerbating the issue. The club is taking a cautious approach to manage Palmer's groin pain, and he will not require surgery.

The team will need to find a replacement for Palmer, and Maresca believes that Facundo Buonanotte can fill the position, although the decision will depend on the game's strategy and the opposing team's defense.

Maresca also discussed Enzo Fernandez, who has been playing a lot of games and may be feeling the effects of fatigue. Maresca acknowledged that it's challenging for players to maintain their performance level after playing a high number of matches, but he's happy with Fernandez's contributions to the team and will continue to use him in different positions.

The team is currently dealing with several injuries, and Maresca is unsure if this is a result of the previous season's heavy schedule. He emphasized that the team is happy with both Robert Sanchez and Filip, their goalkeepers, and sees no issue with Sanchez's performance despite his recent red card.
