Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank was full of praise for his Chelsea counterpart Enzo Maresca ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash between the two sides.

The England international has been sidelined since September with a groin injury, but Maresca is positive about his progress

Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Joao Pedro are all available for Saturday's trip to Tottenham Hotspur despite their fitness problems. It was therefore not a surprise that the three South American players did not make the starting line-up when Chelsea beat Wolves in the Carabao Cup fourth-round tie on Wednesday.

Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Chelsea ace Cole Palmer is on the right track to recovery from a persistent groin injury, and nothing has changed about his estimated return in November.

Joao Pedro should be one of the first names on Enzo Maresca's teamsheet if Chelsea are to secure three points against Tottenham.

Chelsea are still a long way off challenging for the Premier League title, and a top manager is being linked with replacing Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has walked back on his insistance that the Blues do not have a disciplinary problem, now confessing the players need to learn how to avoid meaningless bookings during games.
