Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that Cole Palmer is fit and healthy.
The attacking midfielder was subbed off when they were 2-1 up against Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday.
However, the Blues ended up conceding a late goal and drew 2-2 against the bottom team in the league.
Asked about subbing Palmer due to injury, Pochettino responded: “No, no, no. I think he was tired.
“My feeling was he was tired. 2-1 for us, Carney is another No.10 who can play there and do the job.
“Yes, I think we are happy with him. We need to protect him. He got a knock against Manchester United and was a little bit more tired than normal, but we wanted to protect him after scoring the second goal.
“Trying to avoid a problem for the future.”
