Enzo Marisca refused concerns about Cole Palmer and said that other players should get Chelsea out of the current recession.
The MareSca team slipped to the seventh place in the Premier League after three defeats in the last four games, and the most recent in Aston Villa on Saturday.
Palmer was a creative force for Chelsea this season with 14 goals and six passes in 26 games, but he did not score in five games with his decline in his team.

Chelsea hosts the role of Rock Bottom Southampton tomorrow night, providing both the club and the player the opportunity to return to the right track.
In response to a question about the England playmaker today, Marisca said: “I am always worried about general performance. I am not worried about Cole because Cole is a human being and can get some moments during a season where he struggles a little more.
“The problem with Cole is that we rely on Cole for everything and have said since we started that we need to rely on the team. We need senior players like Cole but we are not worried about it at all.”
We need to be more clinical – Marcelca
When he asked what Palmer needed to return to his best, the Italian added: “He needs to continue the way he works. On the last day, he had a wonderful opportunity but in general the performance from him – as I said, every game we expect a goal or help from it, so It is difficult.
He is a human being. At this moment, its offers may reflect the performance of the team we are fighting to score goals, so we need to be a little clinical when we get opportunities. “
On paper, a game with the saints looks perfect for Chelsea, but Marisca is cautious about the Evan Gorek team despite the fact that they demanded only nine points throughout the season.
He said: “I do not trust in games like this, it can be difficult games. If you watch the match against Manchester United away, they win 1-0 until the last five minutes. It is a difficult game and from now on, every game, each team plays for something So they will all be difficult.
“Our duty is to prepare each game to win. From now on, we have 12 games we go to, and there is no doubt that all 12 must win us.”
JorgenSen is still number one
Maresca will adhere to Philip Georgessen in the goal despite his fault in Villa Park, but he will be without the defender of Trevier Chaloba, who started just eight minutes later.
“He had a check yesterday and it would be about a week to 10 days,” said Marcica from Chaloba.
“On the one hand, it is good that it is not an important injury but on the other side, from shame because we lose another player at this moment with the amount of injuries we suffered.”
Chelsea remains without a recognized center with the injury of Nicholas Jackson and Mark Guyu.
